A wave of early voters in Travis County and across Texas is part of a national surge of people taking advantage of the chance to cast their ballots early, especially after several states extended their early voting period amid the coronavirus pandemic. At the end of Thursday, about 16.44% of the county’s 855,175 registered voters had cast a ballot. At least 40,000 more would be added to that by the end of Friday.
