DFW Area Election Officials: Rain Not Deterring Voters

[TexasTowelie]

Tuesday's wet weather was not ideal for election day, but election officials said they hope numbers will remain high.

At the Riverside Community Center on East Belknap Street in Fort Worth, turn out remained high despite the weather. Tarrant County Election Administrator Frank Phillips said rain usually keeps some people from voting.

"I am encouraged our early voting numbers were high, so I think the governor's race is driving that," Phillips said. "Hopefully that will still get people to come out today regardless of the weather."

Phillips said they are prepared just in case the weather does get worse.
