Ummmm.
In 2020, 11 million people voted.
Texas is going blue. Vote!
how many were registered though?
16.1mil
so at the same ratio you’re looking at about 12.4m voters so far.
A ~1.2 million increase in turnout could be significant enough to change the president and or senate race
Keep in mind trump only won texas by ~600 thousand votes in 2020
And Cruz won by only ~200 thousand votes in 2018
And Cruz literally abandoned them to freeze.
Shit even AOC didn’t do that, and she is in New York. lmao
The difference is that AOC is a human being and not a blobfish who watched someone make fun of his wife
Another million might’ve made us blue already. Trump had the smallest GOP margin of victory in Texas in decades! Texas picked Carter, LBJ, and JFK for President! If Harris wins Texas then there’s basically no way Trump can sue his way to victory.
This would be the required level of over achievement to fuck over the Republicans. It may even be the parties first sign of death, if they lose Texas they will either need to reform or die.
Fuck, I hope so - but I’m not optimistic. When Obama won in 2008 along with the House and a super majority in the Senate, I thought “finally, the death of the Republican party. Surely they’ll be forced to move to the left to have any chance of winning another election.”
Instead they doubled down, created the TEA Party, and eventually got is to where we are today.
