Texas Again Leads Nation in Straight-party Voting

Once again, Texas led all states in straight-party voting. No state’s voters came close to casting more straight-party votes than Texans, and no other state saw straight-party votes represent a greater share of all votes cast than Texas.

Texans cast a record 5.6M straight-party votes in the 2016 general election, a 13% increase over the previous record set in 2012, and straight-party votes comprised a record 63% of all votes cast in the general election, up slightly from the previous record set in 2012.
