I watched the 60 Minutes piece on the Texas abortion ban, which is absolutely infuriating, and as the father of a young daughter, makes me feel like the clock is ticking for this state to either get its shit figured out or my family to find a new home.

Anyways, I did appreciate that the commercial break immediately after that included one of Allred’s ads that calls it the “Ted Cruz Abortion Ban”. Maybe there are enough 60 Minutes viewers who are historical R voters and the message will get through to some. I don’t see how you can watch that segment and not be completely fucking embarrassed by our state. New Mexico even dunked on us.

It’s crazy how much more I despise Ted Cruz than Donald Trump even though I know Trump is magnitudes shittier.

Maybe because Ted Cruz represents Texas?

What gets me is how Ted Cruz is utterly irrelevant.

Heavy rain in Houston this morning. I’m taking it as a sign that we’re washing Cruz down the storm sewer.

Gonna clear up around noon... but I am concerned about people who would have voted on before work in the big cities. A bunch are going to sit it out since "doesn't count".

Dare I comment in CR this close to an election….

Is Allred good? Maybe.  Don’t care.

Do the “R”s deserve to be punished for letting DJT take over the party?  Yes.

Cruz deserves his fate for not punching DJT for calling his wife ugly and accusing his dad for being involved in the JKF assassination.

Expand  

My thinking entirely. Cruz was cowardly complicit in the Trump hijack of the GOP. Plus his commercials are the most ridiculously over the top of any election cycle ever.

Yeah I watched on the treadmill Sunday night my wife and oldest daughter (16, no pics) discussed this briefly and I need to send them that segment.

Yeah, that whole running off to Cancun during the freeze and disputing the certification of the 2020 election were totally fine.

Doesn't look like Texas showed up again and we're sending Cruz back to DC. Just not enough turnout in Dallas and Houston. I could be wrong but there's not much good news for Democrats that I'm seeing.

Dude I've seen live broadcasts from both cities with lines stretching for blocks. That and some rap dude is driving a convoy of busses around houston to take people to vote.

It's the aggregate numbers - some say that Texas may not even equal 2020 turnout. Houston MIGHT have a surge late since it rained earlier, and that could depress turnout, but I wouldn't be optimistic.

I've always assumed Texas stays R this election, but as of 3:05pm Harris County was reporting more than 200,000 voters from today. In 2020 the total number of election day ballots in the presidential race was 200,898. Now of course that was COVID year so a higher percentage voted early but there seem to be plenty of election day voters.

I don't think there will be enough but I don't understand where the turnout comment above is coming from.

I misread - it was the rate of turnout, not the total.

Anyway I'm being a debbie downer just to get ahead of any optimism. I'd rather be wrong and very pleasantly surprised.

Yeah I don't get that tweet either. As of 3pm Harris County is slightly ahead of 2020 election day's total. Same for Dallas and Tarrant. He is comparing 2024 at 3pm to 2020 final total election day numbers.

I mean it seems like decent turnout to me. They've still got all 4 hours with all the after work voters to go if these updates were at 3pm. Again, we should expect the raw total numbers to be higher than 2020 because of COVID and a moderate voting population increase (about 7.5% in these counties) but they are on pace for higher numbers.

I do appreciate that the GQP has realized that in order to help Ted Cruz, they need to have more ads not featuring Ted Cruz.

Shit, you know it’s bad when the guy in the wheelchair has been seen in more ads for Cruz than Cruz has,

"Collin Allred wants drag shows on US Military bases". 

Can we all agree that the end of political ads will be welcomed by 100% of the voting population?

In my rural ass county, Ted and Trump are both down about 10% in the early voting numbers.  Usually around 90 and are at 80 after the early votes.  I've never seen the election day numbers here swing it more than 5 points either way.
