| While the dust is not 100% settled, it has cleared somewhat from this past Monday's 50 site, 24 Hour Voter Registration marathon.
Here are the final reported numbers from the University Democrats.
Monday: 5,656
Semester Total: 11,500+
Here are the final reported numbers from the Travis County Democratic Coordinated Campaign.
Monday: 16,174 (includes UDems)
Since May 10th: 30,869
And according to the county, with all of the mail and other drop offs, their total for the last day is a mindboggling 32,246 voter registrations. As KXAN reported...
About 14,920 voter registration applications were received on Oct. 6 and on Oct. 7, 17,326 were brought to the registration office.
Of the total received, about 9,000 came from volunteer deputy registrars and 8,000 came in the mail. The two day total of 32,246 is record breaking.
Remember, Oct 7th is the day after the deadline when most of the until Midnight stuff was delivered. That 32,246 number is probably even higher when you count the mail that arrived yesterday and today but was still postmarked on Monday- potentially 35,000 effective registrations received as part of the 24 hour last day effort.
That sure blows our 12,000 last day effort from 2004 out of the water. |
