TX-SEN 2020 Megathread: Early Voting

[Oryxslayer]

If O'Rourke isn't running, it's because he hopped in the presidential clown car, and if he does there's a a reasonable chance he wins/becomes VP, so Beto would still be on the TX ticket.

Off topic, but if you had told me before the election that O’Rourke would get 57% in Hays, 51% in Williamson, won Tarrant and Nueces, only lost Denton by 8% and Collin by 6%, AND got about 200k more votes than clinton, I would have predicted he would have narrowly won statewide.

His numbers were quite close to the benchmarks I made before the election. He did very well especially in the Austin and Dallas metros. But he also underperformed by more in some places such as South TX and the Houston area.

Yeah, pretty sad that Hillary won Kenedy while he didn't.

-_- There are literally 400 People there.

If she does end up running then the Dems can certainly do much worse then her. She got most of the Beto vote despite being further down the ticket. She is also one of those white female suburban veterans that were the generic Dems of 2018.

Initial votes are 55-45 for West. Won Dallas by 71-29, Tarrant 59-40, Harris 51-49, and Fort Bend 52-48. Heger won Gavelston and Denton by 51-49, suggesting West's numbers in the metro are stopping at the suburban line.

Heger's 65-35 in Bexar smells like signs of things to come in the south, and West's net votes from his strongholds don't seem like enough to outvote the Travis metro.

Race is essentially tied in the count right now, except no El Paso, Hildago county, or more importantly Austin to boost Heger vote as expected. It's her race to lose.
