Early voting was intense in Dickens County, according to acting district clerk Danay Carnes. 227 Republicans voted early, and 15 Democrats cast early ballots.
“This was much higher than we usually see in an election like this for early voting,” Carnes said. “We had 50 votes Friday alone. Typically, we’ll only see about 100 early votes total.”
