We are still in the blue mirage. Democrats always do more early voting than Republicans. Have to wait and see how the election day goes

This is why they want to cancel elections, they know the shit Hawks are circling.

This is why he wants the SAVE Act in place. Midterm elections are going to rock.

Let’s not forget what they said before the 2024 election. Go out and vote.

I don’t normally vote in the primaries I did want to go out and vote for Talerico and Annise Parker in Harris County. The numbers could be inflated for that reason.

Are we really celebrating early voting counts for a primary?
Ditka85 on
Is this for the Senate primary, Crocket vs Talarico? That’s an impressive turnout.

I have been debating making and putting up “Pedophile Protectors” signs next to the Republicans running for national positions. Some are advertising as MAGA Republicans or “Trump Endorsed.” They definitely need some signs.

From a Canadian perspective, this is meaningless. This is party members voting in their own elections to select their **candidate** for an actual election. For some reason, it is publicly tracked in the States. In Canada it isn’t, because <shrug> who cares what party members decide about what candidate.
All that matters is the actual votes in an actual election for a public office.

This is why democrats lose… they focus on trying to win fucking TEXAS of all fucking places, instead of focusing on the places that actually matter. See also: trying to win the latino vote for the last 2 decades when they’re statistically very religious, conservative, and wary of government.

we still need to be able to and make sure to get to the polls during voting…
Melania still has a 98% Fandango rating; they will do ANYTHING to remain in power

~520k votes out of Texas’s multi-million person population. Give it time.

This is a primary, afaik. Turnout for a Dem primary can definitely indicate a level of involvement that can translate into November turnout.

This is just based on voter registration right?
Last I heard Democrats outnumbered Republicans in Texas by voter registration. The caveat here is that the majority of Texas voters register as independent and lean conservative.

I’m old enough to remember when Texas’ governor was not only a Democrat, but a woman.

Why are early voting counts released before the main election? If anything this just pushes the losing side to get out and vote more.

From what I understand Texas is by population a majority blue state, would be considered “purple” by election standards, but by district it ends up red every time. Correct me if I’m wrong though, don’t have the numbers handy.
Gerrymandering should be illegal, I’d rather see blue states shift red as well if it prevents the obvious corruption of drawing out nonsense district lines to force false partisanship.
I’ve seen polls like this before. Don’t fall for it. Vote.
CryptoCentric on
Texas isn’t a red state, it’s a non-voter state. Conservatives always show up while liberals and leftists always assume it’s pointless. If everyone in Texas showed up to vote it would at least be purple and more likely blue.
(I don’t have a source for this, by the way. It’s just something I’ve heard analysts mention from time to time and it seems believable to me.)

20k votes ahead is not enough.
