Question regarding early vote vs election day polling locations???
Are there MORE election day polling locations open tomorrow than there has been early voting locations that have been open until now?????

For example, my county only has 15 locations open for early voting, my normal polling location is not one of them, so therefore I would assume there are MORE locations open on election day than for early voting?

Is this a valid assumption?

2. Where I live there are many more places to vote tomorrow.
There were about 3 different locations I could have gone to to early vote, but that applies to everyone in the area. So, there were more locations to choose if I had wanted to early vote, but my local school is where I've gone for years and will be hitting bright and early tomorrow.

3. Yes. Usually every voting precinct has a polling location.

In my community there were two early voting locations with multiple machines at each location. One location was open for two weeks and the other was open for one week. Additionally, absentee by mail voting was taking place and absentee in person voting was also taking place at the local board of elections.

4. Yes.
We have about 20 EV locations open countywide. Tomorrow we will have 200-300.

5. Here in my county there are tons more election day locations than early voting locations.
Here in my county (Bexar Co, San Antonio, TX) for example we had 41 early voting locations and on election day our county has 622 polling locations.

6. Here only one location is open for early voting:
town hall. I went this morning and it was really busy; I really felt for the staff, with long lines and the phones ringing off the hook. But it sure felt good.
