Early vote in Dallas isn't that favorable to Crockett - cuts Talarico's lead but he's still up probably 6 in the early vote. She'd need to win E-day by double digits statewide and it doesn't look like she'll gain on her early vote percentage by much if at all. This *should* be over.
They wanted to run vs Crockett and she is losing. So they try so piss her (and ger voters) off to so discord going forward. They'll plant all sorts of conspiracy stuff going forward.
On another level, it is a good test run for soeing similar chaos in November. The narrative will be that blue counties can't manage elections (when it is pure GOP/Paxon) and the feds should take over.
On another level, Talarico (and other folks running in Dallas/statewide) should not really declare victory yet. Paxon knows his race will go to a runoff, so this means Talarico can't really get going while Crocket/Dallas voters are feeling aggreived (and rightly so).
But Talarico should come out for Crockett's effort to have all ballots counted. And be really kind to her, her supporters, and anyonecyryingvto vote in Dallas.
I love Al Green. The sign at SOTU was fantastic. But they gerrymandered him out of his seat and he is likely going to lose to another younger, excellent Democrat.
This race has been really quiet, especially compared to the contested Congressional primaries (I'm in IL-09 and the mail deluge is incessant). People are just tuning in now. I'll certainly be voting Stratton.
It's not that people can't vote in their own precinct, it's that people have become accustomed to being able to vote wherever. I don't know what the situation is in TX, but in DC, I've become used to looking at a list of polling locations and picking whatever's most convenient. Granted, in most cases, that's probably the correct precinct, but there are tons of reasons why it might not. Once municipalities started doing it this way, it intuitively made a lot of sense to me, so I get why voters would be confused if TX used to allow you to vote wherever and are suddenly changing back. There's no good reason to do it and I'm guessing any changes weren't well communicated.
Yeah, I don't see the need for polling hours to be extended in TX -- and people were poorly informed. If there was a technological snafu or something like that, yes -- extend hours so that people can exercise their constitutional rights.
I'm sure it varies from state to state, but do voters not get a postcard or something from the election authority about when and where to vote? Elections Canada and Elections Ontario send us all registered voters a card with the name of our riding, the hours and days of voting, and the location of our advance poll, election day poll, and the returning office.
I think that hasn’t happened in some 30 years.
1.0% lead with 98% (estimated) in.
1,202 votes.
Looks like Allam will come up just short, but I would not toss dirt just yet.
Apparently Allam will request a recount per NYT.
This is bad for Berger. He better hope there are provisional ballots to cure in his favor.
Reitz would have been the worst, though.
I hate non-team players. This is GREAT news.
Dave Wasserman thinks otherwise. Talarico is exceeding his benchmarks in key counties, Crockett isn’t even meeting hers.
He's right. Dallas is not going to be enough to save her.
It doesn’t help with Paxton and the TX Supreme Court fucking with the county judge’s decision to extend voting time to 9 pm CST.

Classic GOP ratpuckfery.

90% in. 2.2%.
2,200+ votes behind.
It won't be linear.
Both under 50%. Does that matter in NC?
Probably a 15-20% chance of a flip. Environment just needs to get a hair stormier.
So glad all those awful conservadems lost their primaries. They can join Berger in the unemployment line.
Wipe them all out as far as I’m concerned.
Little Rock suburbs. So exactly the area you’d expect some movement out direction
Sure like hearing more news of flipping!
Can’t get enough wins!
Fingers crossed for Berger losing to Page. That would cap my night off nicely.
It’s happening…
I saw Taniel of Bolts Magazine noting that. Cunningham may very well be cooked.
She deserves to lose. Awful woman.
This is obviously the correct decision, even though I would vote for Talarico if I lived in TX.

I got Stevie Nick's voice in my head thinking of the midterms. Anyone wanna guess which song?
Hehe
More of a “Rumors” album man myself but good choice
The most low-key song on the 1975 album.

We love to see it. AND we get rid of Cryptomoorthi?
I want to belieeeeeeeeve
Hoping for a Stratton win. [Voted for her via VBM last Friday]

wow, I was certain she wouldn't be able to close the gap with just a few weeks of ads, but I stand corrected.
Bit of both

i hate what he's done to the country, but mcconell is going to be replaced by someone worse, other than that agree 100% with the above
I don't think McConnell is irrational. He is just evil.
I don't agree with most of what McConnell has done, but he's one of the most rational Republicans.

No, instead of everyone voting at the same place in a precinct, there are separate voting locations for Democrats and Republicans within a precinct.
