The appeal of Hanen’s order.  Asking for a ruling before voting starts tomorrow. 
 

 

 

 

Would have been nice if Hanen would have said the motion was untimely for day-of voting too.  Give 5th something to stamp.

I saw that tweet. I thought it was excellent. I’m also a suspicious that Evan Smith didn’t actually create the chart.  He’s too highfalutin to do menial tasks like that.

So Travis hit 60% just now.  Getting to 78% seems really hard, but even 70% would be welcome.

huh? we were at a fraction under 65% at the end of early voting. Are you looking at only in-person voting? Because the number you cited seems to be that

I think you are confused with another County? Travis hit 60% last week.

keep in mind many may vote at lunchtime or on the way home from work. polls are open for a while.

[jimmyjazz 46976]

This website is not very clear.  It would seem they are counting early votes, but perhaps not mail-in ballots?

we're already halfway to the number needed to get to 70%. I'm betting we'll see a large increase in the next two hours of people voting at lunch

that site just shows in-person ballots

[Pato del Muerto 53331]

Hoping Texas is the opposite of the blue wall states 4 years ago. Actually I hope it’s enough to get called right around the time west coast polls close so they can call tx, ca, wa, or, nv, and az at the same time.

Carrying over from the larger election thread, but supposedly the Biden campaign estimates that Trump needs 49 percent of election day votes in Texas to carry the state. Their estimated turnout was not mentioned. 

Take that with a grain of salt, but if true it implies Trump had already won as of the end of EV and is going to cruise to a victory larger than any of us reasonably expected, because he will smash 49 percent today. If anywhere near accurate Trump will have a couple hundred thousand vote cushion.

Again, though, it isn't like the Biden campaign would be yelling from the rooftops about wining Texas so take it for what it is.

The link says that but the website is as clear as mud.  It doesn't clarify that it doesn't include absentee voters, and it claims 60.7% "turnout".  No big deal, it's useful for tracking the days' turnout (which stands at 27K at this point).

clicked through.  Yeah a note would be nice that they don't have mail in ballots on there but they don't have a mail in ballot color for the pie chart.

100,000+ votes so far today

 

 

early voting tab was about 64k by 1:50

For those who don't know, Fort Bend was an O'Rourke county. 

[StassneyHorn 6755]

If Eliz Markowitz beats Gary Gates in Fort Bend, I am going to dig up all the butthurt posts from their special election asking if Beto is a drag on the Democratic Party. This was always going to be her best shot.

Damn right it was.  I'm really hoping that this super-sized turnout brings Sri a win over Nehls (and his stupid-ass bigger than life-size campaign posters).

Is it safe to say Texas’ turnout has exceeded all the thresholds previously mentioned in this thread that would indicate Texas is blue?

I still think Texas will be Trump +3 but looking at the numbers I think turnout is where everyone in this thread hoped it would be.

If you think Texas is Trump +3, then Texas is not blue.

Right.  I was saying that despite turnout being high, I think Texas will still go to Trump.

Harris County might add 400K votes over 2016.  If you give Hillary the 3rd party vote that year, she loses by 500K votes.

I'm here. Have been traveling. I'll do an avatar bet. Or an IP ban bet. I dont post a lot but I check the site daily. Would rather not be IP banned.

[Huckleberry 34407]

Roughly 10K in 30 minutes. I don't see that going down with the after work voters, so Harris County should finish with over 200K votes today.

[atomheartbevo 90546]

Had to run an errand at lunch.  Saw a guy in a large pickup with American and Trump flags apparently driving up and down in front of O. Henry Middle School.  He looked like he could barely see over the steering wheel, so I felt sorry for him.   

This afternoon, saw a guy on the Mopac bridge at Spicewood Springs/West Anderson Mill walking back and forth over Mopac waving Trump and American flags.  Both he and the shorty in the pickup clearly had that mushroom-dick energy going on.  

I shouldn’t joke, while the pickup driver just looked like an angry white guy, bridge guy clearly had serious mental issues.  

Downtown Austin had lots of bored DPS troopers doing loops around various areas.  Saw some really bored National Guard members, who were clearly not happy to be doing whatever they were doing, and they were having to wear body armor.

Switching to shep smith at CNBC for the duration 

[Huckleberry 34407]

Counties that are coming in are right at 2018 vote shares or a little above or below. That analysis I was running therefore predicts a 2 to 2.5% win for Trump. That's before Election Day votes, though..
