Of those votes, 79,601 were cast in person.
Cameron County continues to surpass its previous record from the 2018 general election after week three of early voting in the Nov. 3 presidential election.
“As expected we just left the 2018 General Election in the dust,” Remi Garza, the Cameron County Elections administrator, said in an email to The Rider Oct. 27. “Total Absentee Ballots cast or received from in person and by mail have exceeded the entirety of the last General Election. If we maintain this pace, we will exceed the [entirety] of the 2016 Presidential Election by the last day of early voting. Incredible!”

–Oct. 23: 3,871 in-person ballots
