First day of early voting in El Paso, Texas is "beyond good"
El Paso County Elections Administrator Lisa Wise said turnout for the first day of early voting was going strong, with about 3,000 in-person votes cast by 11 a.m. (UPDATE: At 3 p.m., Wise said 9,400 people had cast in-person early votes with four hours left to go at most polling places. That number has already surpassed the first-day in-person turnout of any previous early voting period.)
Occasional long lines were reported, including Monday morning at Pavo Real Recreation Center in the Lower Valley, historically one of El Paso's busier early voting sites.
In 2008, 8,658 El Pasoans came out to vote on the first day of early voting. When combined with 2,155 mail ballots received that first day, a total of 10,813 early votes were recorded.
In 2012, the numbers fell to 8,258 in-person voters and 1,222 mail voters, for a total of 9,480.
So what would be a good first-day turnout for El Paso? How about 10,000 in-person voters and 2,000 mail ballots, for a total of 12,000. (UPDATE 2: Wise tells me the county has received about 3,600 mail ballots so far. That's more than the entire 2012 early voting period, and getting close to the 4,633 cast in the entire 2008 early voting period. So as of 3 p.m. El Paso County has had more than 13,000 early votes cast. Using my earlier standard, this is well beyond good for El Paso.)

We better close the Canadian border too, Canada is so liberal Canadians will vote 100% for Hillary.
I'm starting to believe that Texas might very well go BLUE!!!
