Early voting in Massachusetts?
Does that go on there. Texas has it and I won't go back. Can't.

1. Polls open at 7am
That's pretty early.

For the record, I just voted, and the counter at my station read 330 people had cast ballots. In the primary, the count at my polling station was 125 at 4pm, so turnout in my little corner of the world is huge so far.

2. A threefold increase from the primaries is not necessarily "huge"
Primary turnout for this race was abysmally small: around 10% I believe. So if turnout is 30%, that's not huge at all.

5. Will, in Texas we have about ten days of voting prior to actual Election Day
You can vote at any location in your county (typically supermarkets, community centers). About 40 percent of our vote total is early voting.
