No Blue Wave In Texas Primaries, Media Shocked That Texas Is Not Just Their Austin Friends
Today is a rough day to be a Texas Democrat. That blue wave we’ve heard about for months was more of a ripple.
Months of wish casting, hoping, dreaming, pretending a blue wave was cresting in the Lone Star State, only to be clobbered by Republicans in voter turnout.
Piece after piece was written about record Democrat turnout in early voting. The predictions had Texas Republicans rattled and Governor Abbott encouraging Republicans to get to the polls.
But those numbers weren’t accurate for two reasons — those early voting tallies were taken from the 15 most populous counties which are coincidentally the bluest counties. Further, the calculations were based on a percentage of increase in turnout from previous years, which fails to factor in total number of votes cast for this election cycle. If an uptick in percentage is met with an increase in total voters, then no increase or surge exists.
When all the votes were cast, almost twice as many Republicans cast early ballots than Democrats. Bonus: this is a banner year for Democrat primary turnout.
Note to the Democrats: If you start offering ideas that benefit the general population instead of the 1% banksters, you might gain some traction. Until then, your deep state is being broken up and your power willl continue to slip away into the mud...
