BEAUMONT, Texas — Early voting starts Monday in Texas in the Nov. 5 election. Those eligible to vote in Jefferson County will have two weeks ahead of Election Day to cast their ballot at locations all over Southeast Texas.
This year, the country will decide if Vice President Kamala Harris will be getting a promotion to the top job or if former President Donald Trump will return to the Resolute Desk.
Voters will also have a chance to weigh in on several other national, state and local races on the ballot this year. Here in Texas, polling in a closely-watched race for U.S. Senate shows Sen. Ted Cruz (R) and Congressman Colin Allred (D) are neck and neck. In Jefferson County, Republican Steven Broussard is challenging longtime Sheriff Zena Stephens, a Democrat, for the county's top law enforcement job.
