and several were counties that showed big early voting. I'm talking about the suburban counties near Austin and Houston. And some near Ft. Worth are much closer than usual too.

I hope his El Paso area pushes him past the finish line!

(9,974 posts)All he has to do is *siphon some votes from* counties like Collin, Denton, etc and combine those votes with Houston/Dallas/Austin/San Antonio/El Paso and border counties.
Cruz may do well in West TX but it wont let him catch up, IMO.
Media is having a really hard time comprehending what is going on in TX.

(13,542 posts)Red Tarrant Co. (Ft. Worth) is better for Beto than expected. All the other urban areas will be Beto's...just hope we got enough turnout.
