The election_day and early_voting columns appear to be flipped in the 20161108 Wilson County general file.

The file has the following headers: https://github.com/openelections/openelections-data-tx/blob/4868a75a5e693266059ff84ba5d9eb0e28ca98d7/2016/counties/20161108__tx__general__wilson__precinct.csv#L1

Consider for example, the following rows: https://github.com/openelections/openelections-data-tx/blob/4868a75a5e693266059ff84ba5d9eb0e28ca98d7/2016/counties/20161108__tx__general__wilson__precinct.csv#L19-L24

According to the source file, it appears that the election_day and early_voting columns are flipped:

Actually, upon closer inspection it also appears that several of the values in the above example incorrectly reflect the straight party Total Votes, as opposed to the straight party Republican votes. Precinct 101 appears correct (but with early_voting and election_day flipped), while the other precincts appear to have values from the incorrect column.
