32.34% of Texans know how to GOTV!
Edited on Thu Oct-30-08 09:09 PM by rainbow4321
So does this POSITIVE "Texas %" post sink to the archives or does it stay at the top with the
negative "Texas %" posts???

For those who are going to argue "yeah just what we need, red state/repuke voters"
I give you stats from one of the reddest counties. The first 6 days of our early voting:
repukes 20%
Dems just over 30%
Independents: 44%

In a county that historically runs 70-30 and 80-20 repuke.

And that doesn't include the stats of the final 2 days of early voting (Thurs&Fri).

Given all of these "% of Texans" threads, as a Texan, I thought we needed a MORE positive reputation. Normally this would probably belong in the TX forum but seeing as how the other TX "percentage posts" are being allowed here....plus, "red state" early voters must not really matter if you go by all the damn M$M's "early voter turnout is LOW" bullshit. So they can take TX's stats and stick them up their collective asses.

Brisk early voting in Texas has now surpassed the state's 2004 presidential election total of 2.4 million early voters.

The Secretary of State's Office, which tracks early voting in the 15 most populous counties, reported Thursday that in those counties alone 2.7 million people have cast early ballots.


That includes 2.5 million early ballots cast in person and 186,803 by mail.

Those numbers are through Wednesday's balloting.

2. Thanks for the reminder; my son needs to vote absentee in Mass.
He'll be out of town on election day.

I know, Massachusetts is supposed to be in the bag, but we're not taking any chances.

4 votes for Obama in my household!

:hi:
