A record number of Texans are voting early in the midterm elections.

On Sunday, people were still trickling in to voting centers around North Texas.

“I thought today would be a good day since it’s Sunday, and it wouldn’t be so crowded,” said Essie Richardson, a Dallas County voter.

In Dallas, a Souls to the Polls event was held near a voting center in Oak Cliff.

“This is a tragic event for everybody, and it’s something that makes Pittsburgh strong,” Pittsburgh Police Chief Scott Schubert said Sunday, a day after a gunman killed 11 people and wounded six others at the Tree of Life synagogue.

“I’m hoping that we get a big turnout of people who go vote,’ said Brittany White, with Faith in Texas.

More than 20 churches participated in the event in an effort to encourage their congregations to get out and vote early.

“I just left church… and this was my first free time to get out and vote,” said Stefanie Gunn, who came to the voting center after she attended Concord Missionary Baptist Church.
