More than 1 million votes have already been cast in Harris County TX, exceeding 2016 early voting total with a week of early voting left
@LinaHidalgoTX told me Greg Abbott's plan closing mail dropoff sites backfired on GOP

Harris Co clerk @CGHollins deserves lot of credit for making voting easier:
-3x early voting locations
-drive-through voting
-24/7 voting
-arenas as polling places
"Voters are responding by saying, ‘I’ll show you,’ & coming out in record numbers to have their voices heard.”
