Breaking: Texas just surpassed its 2016 total votes cast w/ one day of early voting & Election Day left to go.

The state is reporting 9,009,850 votes already cast, vs. the all-time record of 8,969,226 in 2016. This is massive.


Projections of a total turnout of around 12M.........anything can happen.

3. Absolutely

Trump isn't going to come out election day and get 10 million more votes than he did in 2016, he'll get perhaps a couple million more, that's on the high side.

These extra 15 million+ people that didn't vote in 2016 and are voting now are going to go for Biden 90-10.

4. The biggest takeaway from 2016 is people thought HRC would win.

So they simply didn't turn out to vote. The Republicans have consistent year on year totals. They are just reliable at turning out, but there aren't as many of them (it's usually independents who waffle).

This election is a referendum on an impeached President who should've been removed from office and a Senate that has been derelict in its duty for over 12 years (save 39 days Obama had a majority of votes).

8. 2016 IS NOT relatable to 2020 in any shape form or way

and is tiresome to hear 2016 as comparison. If you want to compare, look at 2018 FIRST

6. People don't come out in these numbers to support the status quo...

even in Texas.

5. Texas has not been a competitive state for a long time.

The results of presidential and statewide races were a foregone conclusion.

Despite gerrymandering, there are a number of House districts that are now competitive, and the presidential race is now a tossup.

So voting in Texas is now a worthwhile endeavor.
