The Texas Secretary of State's office reported that 9,009,850 people cast their ballots in person, by mail or via drop boxes during the state's early voting period, which began Oct. 13 and ends Friday. That amounts to 53.14 percent turnout among registered voters in just early voting.

Four years ago, a record-shattering 8,969,226 people in Texas voted, according to the state's records — which amounted to 59.39 percent turnout. Donald Trump beat Hillary Clinton there by nearly 9 points, 52.23 percent to 43.24 percent.
