That's just one election though
Big thing with these Texas elections in particular that are different than 2014 are there's not as many new faces.
Abbott was new in 2014, Cruz was new in 2012, that may be a cause of lower turnout in a primary election due to lower competition.
this is what happens when you have an influx of Hispanics
>s. Kilgore
Yeah, that's another problem. I think it may be leftists moving into Texas more than hispanics.
Hispanics have a very low voter turnout, while liberals pouring in from cali will be more politically involved.
Demographics do remain a big problem in Texas though. The field is also less competitive on the R side than in 2012 or 2014 which leads to people not caring to turnout as they know what the result may be.
We definitely shouldn't ignore low turnout though, even if there's a chance something else may be the cause.
BREAKING | Incumbent Nico LaHood concedes Bexar County DA race:
@🎃Boo-ton🎃 >Bexar County DA race
how is this significant
this is my first time hearing of "Bexar County"
"LaHood was arrested in June 1994 for attempting to sell 200 Ecstasy pills worth $3,600, with a firearm to an undercover police officer at a strip club."
"LaHood also stated that Islam is a "horrifically violent" religion"
lmao wow
Yeah this guy wasn't going to make it another round in this environment.
RIP madman dem boi
With THREE PERCENT of precincts reporting (+ early vote), Texas Democrats have cast more votes than they did in the ENTIRETY of 2014 voting. That’s just nuts. Haven’t ever seen something like this.
@🎃Boo-ton🎃 doesn't matter
Texas Republicans are also shooting WAYYYYY past their 2014 total
Where are results?
looks like higher turnout from both sides
MOTIVATION
@🎃Boo-ton🎃 with 3%, GOP total was ~600,000 which is proportionally much greater than their 2014 total
From greatest to least which demoshit senators could we make memes out of?
There was never any question Rs would cast more TX primary ballots than Ds. Question is what final ratio looks like. Was 2-1 R in both 2010 & 2014.
@🎃Boo-ton🎃 Yeah, and it still looks like it's much more
Turnout up on both sides, huh?
Yeah
I think 2018 will be a case of high turnout on BOTH sides
