238,065 Texans have voted so far, 1.39% of registered Texan voters.
93,553 (39.30%) voted in the Democratic Primary
144,512 (60.70%) voted in the Republican Primary
Oh yea the RGV is TOTALLY gonna swing dem!!!!1!!!1!!
Not surprising with the low turnout though, especially when Beto is practically running unopposed and Abbott's primary opponents seem to be online candidates, even with Huffines signs everywhere.
As usual though, I imagine more republicans will vote in person on election day.
This is an interesting article that seems to go against the idea of looking at primary turnout as a general election indicator in Texas. It also says that election day voting is lower in the general election which surprises me.
