By close of polls on Friday, 19% of registered voters in TX have. Voted. By today we have easily exceeded 20%. I'm willing to bet we exceeded 25% based on lines I heard about and extra polling places.

I'm hearing awesome rumblings of Texas turning blue, but so far on 538, it still has a pretty good red hue to it and his predictions are low for dems.

(344 posts)I wish we had demographics and/or votes but this is all the SoS reports. Keep in mind that 538 factors in the weight of history so they're unlikely to predict a close upset in Texas.

Hope I'm wrong.
What really needs to happen is that the republican-controlled state government needs to go Democratic. I don't see that happening either. At least not any time soon. Abbott, paxton, and patrick are the three stupids.......er, stooges. My apologies to Larry, Moe, and Curly.
