Today was the first day of early voting, and a record number of voters hitting up the polls today – more than 63,000.

Houston native Nile Dixon, 20, has created something he hopes will get even more people to the polls between now and November 6. It's a text bot called "Text to Polls" that sends voters their nearest early voting polling location, as well as directions via car or public transportation.
