FORNEY, TX — Early voting is officially underway in Kaufman County for the March 3 primary elections. Initial turnout data from Day One reveals a notable trend in Forney: Democratic voters outpaced Republicans at both Forney polling locations.

A similar pattern emerged at Forney ISD Opportunity Central (The OC), where 43 Democrats voted, compared to 33 Republicans on the first day of early voting.
Republicans Lead Countywide 707-424

What It Means for Forney
