The 53.51-percent turnout of voters in the 2018 general election represented 8,021 of Milam County’s registered 14,991 voters, according to County Clerk Jodi Morgan.
That’s an all-time turnout record for Milam voters in a “mid-term” election and it’s a record by plenty.
Previous mid-term record was 43.14 percent in 2010.
In fact, 2018’s 53.51-percent turnout even approaches the number of voters who cast ballots in the past two presidential election years, 59 percent in 2016 and 58.83 percent in 2012.
The 2018 race was also the last one in which Texans were allowed to cast straight ticket votes.
In Milam, there were 4,016 straight-ticket Republican voters, 784 straight-ticket Democrat voters and 32 straight-ticket Libertarians.
