For decades, general election turnout in Texas has been among the lowest in the country as most statewide contests have been foregone conclusions.

With a record number of ballots cast during the early voting period in Texas, candidates, strategists and political analysts are poring over the numbers, looking forRoughly 57% of registered voters in the state voted early, shattering previous turnout records with one day of voting ahead. The 9.6 million Texans voted early was a 47% increase from the number of early voters in the 2016 general election.

Recent polling has shown President Donald Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden running neck-and-neck in Texas, and the nonpartisan, a leading election forecasting site, on Wednesday moved the state from"lean Republican" to"toss up." "With that in mind, I don’t quite know how to gauge what we’re seeing against historical precedent, because the context has changed," Shaw said."I’m therefore suspicious of people who want to read in all sorts of partisan implications. I’m not sure what we’re looking at, in that regard.

Previous elections can reveal a voter’s political leanings, especially if they consistently vote in one party’s primary election. But voters can switch party primaries from one election to the next, so primary voting doesn’t always serve as an accurate prediction for how they might vote in a general election.

This year, one limitation is high turnout among first-time voters or occasional voters, making it harder to predict who they’ll support. In these cases, analysts can turn to such demographic data as age, race and location to assess which candidates an individual might support. Some modeling firms even use consumer data to predict how someone will vote.
