科珀斯克里斯蒂提前投票7.82万张创纪录：占合格选民35.09%
德克萨斯州纽埃塞斯县科珀斯克里斯蒂（Corpus Christi），2026年中期选举提前投票10月30日收官并创下纪录。据县书记官办公室数据，截至提前投票最后一天，约78,200张选票已经投出，占约223,000名合格选民的35.09%，超过2018年中期选举约61,500张、占32.93%的水平，也高于2022年。《科珀斯克里斯蒂呼声时报》报道了这批数据。
独立政治与法律史学家 Bill Chriss 在最终数字公布前表示，若选票超过75,000张，对一场没有总统候选人的选举而言将是“非常高的水位线”。县书记官 Kara Sands 说，选民可在全县20个投票中心的任何一处投票，这提高了参与便利度。
当地专家指出，推高投票率的因素包括州长、联邦参议员等竞争激烈的竞选，以及因议员分歧与内港海水淡化计划之争而格外受关注的市议会选举。选举日为11月3日。
Corpus Christi Early Voting Breaks Records With About 78,200 Ballots
CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — Early voting in Nueces County for the 2026 midterms ended October 30 with record turnout. About 78,200 ballots had been cast as of the final day, representing 35.09 percent of roughly 223,000 eligible voters, according to the County Clerk's Office — above the roughly 61,500 ballots and 32.93 percent turnout of the 2018 midterms and ahead of 2022, the Corpus Christi Caller-Times reported.
Independent political and legal historian Bill Chriss said before the final numbers posted that surpassing 75,000 ballots would be "a very high watermark for an election where the president is not on the ballot." County Clerk Kara Sands noted that voters could cast ballots at any of the county's 20 vote centers.
Local experts credited competitive statewide races for governor and U.S. Senate, along with a closely watched city council election shaped by council divisions and the Inner Harbor desalination debate. Election Day is November 3.
