Hemphill County

Two locally contested races helped drive 44.6 percent of Hemphill County’s 2,274 registered voters to the polls over the last three weeks. The fever pitch amid a volley of campaign advertising and an invigorated slate of Democratic candidates reached voters across Texas, resulting in record statewide turnout among 2.2 million Dems, and a strong showing by more than 2.1 million Republican voters.
