13 Days Left.
The daily results from the Secretary of State (SOS) were slow in 2020, but they are twice as slow this year. Some counties publish live results on their websites, but not all.
Republicans have emailed me this week, attempting to gaslight me into believing that the record polling were seeing at the polls is excitement for Trump. But Im not convinced. For one, Texas has moved left in nearly every election over the last two decades. And two, this is the first presidential election in modern history in which white Texans are not in the majority.
While MAGA has spent the last year bending over backward trying to convince America that Trump will win the Black and Latino vote, there is no data to back that up. When we look at the data from the exit polls in Texas over the last several elections, we know:
The majority of Hispanic voters vote blue.
The majority of Black voters vote blue.
The majority of Asian voters vote blue.
This includes the exit polls from 2020 and 2022. Theres no evidence that people of color are suddenly willing to vote for the party of white supremacy.
Historically speaking, we know that a more engaged electorate equates to a more Democratic electorate. So, this record turnout were seeing across Texas will benefit Democrats.
