El Paso Matters reported that more than 164,000 county residents cast ballots during early voting, the highest number ever recorded for a midterm election. The story said the early vote was 18% higher than the previous record and 60% higher than the 2022 midterm. It also said an Election Day turnout of about 40,000 would push the county past its all-time midterm total of 203,000, set in 2018.
