Democrats Lead Early Voting in Harris County House District 132

After three days of early voting in Texas House District 132 in Harris County, Democrats account for 51.2% of primary votes while Republicans hold 48.8%, election rosters show as of Feb. 21, 2026. The narrow Democratic edge through those early ballots marks a notable shift in a district Donald Trump carried by 12 points in the 2024 presidential contest.

Candidate Sara McGee pointed to the election rosters as the basis for the 51.2% Democratic figure reported after three days of early voting in District 132. McGee’s campaign said the roster breakdown reflects party-designated primary ballots cast at polling places across the Harris County portion of the district through Feb. 21, 2026.

District 132’s recent presidential history frames the stakes: Trump’s 12-point margin in 2024 established the district as reliably Republican at the top of the ticket. The early-vote split observed over the first three days of the primary early-voting window contrasts with that result, creating a pathway that could translate into a competitive state House race if the pattern holds through the remainder of early voting and on Election Day.

Harris County election rosters will continue to update as additional early ballots are processed and as Election Day returns are tallied. Campaigns on both sides of the District 132 contest are expected to monitor those roster updates closely; the current 51.2%-48.8% Democratic advantage, derived from party-designated primary votes through three days of early voting, is the primary metric cited by McGee’s campaign to argue the district is moving in a different direction than the 2024 presidential outcome.

The three-day early-vote snapshot gives Democratic strategists a concrete figure to publicize and Republican operatives a specific gap to close in the remaining voting period. How that 2.4-point margin in favor of Democrats through early ballots will translate into final primary or general election outcomes in Harris County’s District 132 remains contingent on turnout patterns recorded on the county rosters and the ballots still to be cast.
