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.

@🎃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."

first person unseated

"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

@Pielover19 https://www.nytimes.com/elections/results/texas-primary-election

@🎃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.

@Deleted User

@🎃Boo-ton🎃 Yeah, and it still looks like it's much more

Turnout up on both sides, huh?

@Pielover19

Yeah

I think 2018 will be a case of high turnout on BOTH sides

everywhere

Ohio is going to be red so hard

based on what

That mick bastard ShartInMart Brown is an awful person and isn’t that popular

Only niggers and college kids love him

@🎃Boo-ton🎃 based on what's currently happening in Texas

turnout for GOP seems much, much higher than in 2014

TX primary turnout in recent midterms:

2006: 56% R, 44% D
2010: 69% R, 31% D
2014: 71% R, 29% D
Tonight: ??, ??

But so far, a whole lot closer to 2006 than 2010/2014.
