11 days to go.

According to the Houston Chronicle, more than 1 million people signed up to attend the Kamala Harris rally in Houston today. The rally is at Shell Energy Stadium, which has a capacity of 22,000. The lines I’ve seen on social media outside the stadium are probably more than 20,000 people. (The Houston Chronicle also endorsed Kamala Harris today.)

According to Houston insiders, the Harris campaign tried to secure Minute Made Stadium in Houston, which has a capacity of 41,000, but it was already booked.

Here is a small clip from some of the lines outside the rally.

1. fyi - in Brazoria day 4 was the lowest turnout of the early voting week -

as of totals Friday, at least 30% of registered voters (that's a conservative rough estimate) have already voted.

As of end of day Oct. 25 (including in person & mail) 75,487 (from the spreadsheet the clerks updates)
According to State, we have 241,329 registered voters as of March 2024 (which includes a good 20K suspended)

We're unfortunately a pretty red county. Trump beat Biden 58%-40% (which is better than numbers for Hillary in 2016). Really hoping we make progress with Kamala, but I just don't know.
