@🎃Boo-ton🎃 you need to remember to put the source of the graph in.

https://ballotpedia.org/Texas_House_of_Representatives_District_13 - today

Won by 57% in 2016 by Republican in the Texas House Leighton Schubert.

let's see how the swing goes

the election previously went up to special election only in 2015

According to Ballotpedia it's May 5th.

yes, it had a special election in 2015 and now it has one today

The incumbent did not resign in disgrace, but it'll be interesting to see what happens I guess

One thing to note is that in 2015, both of the top 2 contenders were Republicans, the dem did not go to the runoff

@[Lex] How to lose and election part 2

Split your votes lol

@🎃Boo-ton🎃 holy hell

Wolfskill is /ourgirl/ but we'll see how it pans out. It could very well be split unto a Democratic victory.

Almost 50 percent of Hispanics agree it is at the cost of whites

This is scary

It's like they know

They're trying to take America

dude both of them got higher than the dem last time

But I highly doubt it.

a runoff pitted the 2 Rs against each other, and this one could also

@FLanon I'm just saying

It's stupid

How?

They're extremely close.

To split your votes?

Both candidates.

2 Rs go to the runoff, no chance of a Dem getting elected

because it risks losing the seat all together

if it was 7 Rs then you'd have a point

But it's 2.

even if it was 2

It's a dumb idea.

have the primary pick the person

and there were 3 Rs in this one

and be done with it, unless it is at the utmost urgency that the person put through the primary is a problem.
