More Demographics On Early Voters
This time from Austin, courtesy of Karen Brooks at the TrailBlazers blog. Here’s the skinny:
The most who have ever voted in a Travis County (Austin) primary is about 65,000, my source says. The final number this time around: 96,747. Women turned out at a 25.9 percent, while men had a turnout of 21 percent. A full quarter of the early voters were under the age of 35. Only 38 percent of those who voted had ever voted in a primary before, including about 5,000 who had voted in at least one Republican primary in the past three cycles.So – are you ready for this? If this guy’s count is accurate, that means that nearly 60,000 brand new primary voters have turned out – and it’s not even election day yet.

I know they like to “keep Austin weird” but this really takes the cake. Only 46.9% of voters were either male or female?
