People in Dallas were voting right up until 9 o'clock tonight when the early voting polls closed.
Turnout was reported to be down across the state for a November election where the biggest race is for governor.
Severe weather rolling through the city only slowed down early voters who preferred carrying umbrellas and casting ballots in the rain over waiting in line for possibly hours on Election Day. According to state statistics, the number of people voting early thus far in the major counties in North Texas has plummeted compared to the last midterm election.
Elections Administrator Bruce Sherbet expects another 100,000 more voters on Tuesday which will result in what he calls a slightly above average turnout in Collin County. "So we are geared up in terms of locations and quantity of supplies and now everything's in place waiting for the big day to get here," said Sherbert.
Dallas County added 12 new polling sites recently and Collin County will have more polling sites to hopefully relieve long lines on Election Day.
