I'm in line for early voting in McKinney and it's an hour long wait. This is insane.
you can vote by mail, vote on election day or wait a few days... LOL
I mean, I understand the concept of your answer, but two things can happen at once. You could wait till another day to vote, sure, or vote a different way... but at the same time, there's no reason why there isn't more sites in MANY states right now to vote. One drop box in a whole county is insane. Just like in GA, there should've been more remote sites to early vote at.
It's a fundamental Republican philosophy to make it harder for people to vote. This is why Election Day still isn't a national holiday...it's the ONLY reason they're railing against mail-in ballots...it's why there are hours long lines to vote...it's why they purge voter rolls...it's why they decrease polling sites and limit the ways in which we can cast our ballots.
They know that they're quickly losing demographics and they're grasping at whatever threads they can.
Eventually the only way they'll be able to stay in power is by outright cheating.
It should be quite difficult for people to vote, and suffrage in general needs to be scaled back a lot. Many people who vote should not be allowed to.
I don't give a rat's ass about Yellowhammer, but one person recommend this post--Jessica. Which is interesting because just 5 days ago Jessica posted this
Voting should be by mail in every state. I am a conservative but I believe everyone should have a right to vote and it should be easy!
Please explain yourself
What else do you expect from a republican. They will act nice when they have to and then suppress when they need to. |

It’s extremely bad news Dallas County couldn’t even surpass 2016.
Not really, atleast not for democrats. Might be a terrible sign for Republicans. Dallas County in 2016 had around 15k more in turnout day 1 compared to Day 1 in 2018 and Beto outdid Hillary by 20k in the total count by the end. I’d be willing to bet this number is caused by the republicans in Dallas county not turning out. |

If that's just today's in-person numbers and not VBM, then Jesus!
42,402 early votes from today + 32,089 VBM ballots (not including today) = ~74,491 early votes
TARRANT COUNTY (Fort Worth) (On first day of early voting)
2012: 52,225 5.4% of registered voters
2016: 65,156 6.1%
2018: 62,971 5.6%
~2020: 74,491 6.2%
agreed all these videos of "long lines" is the same videos and stuff we saw in 2016
Turnout doesn’t need to be miraculous. It looks good enough to make a large impact. What’s more important is then voting shift we are undergoing. Bush +25 (2004 McCain +12 (2008) Romney +17 (2012) Trump + 8.5 (2016) Beto O’Rourke +0.7 (2018). This county has not voted for a democrat for president since 1964 and will in all likelihood vote Biden It is not so much the turnout in these areas. It is the massive exodus from the GOP that is turning Texas blue. |

That Denton number... something wild is happening in that county.
2010 census: 662,614
2015 estimate: 778,846
2019 estimate: 887,207
Denton County is literally not the same place it was 8 or even 4 years ago.
This seems correct. It's really looking like the Texas version of Loudon County.
This is a really good comparison. The deniers are refusing to acknowledge the basic fact that the republican vote is only going to marginally increase at best in these suburbs. Theyve been GOP strongholds forever. It’s the Democrat voters who used to think they didn’t have a shot, finally waking up and realizing that can blow away the republicans if they actually turnout (of course combined with the massive population growth which leans liberal) Loudon County in 08 didn’t lose GOP voters. In fact it gained from 60k to 63k. The Dems meanwhile went from 47k to 73k in once cycle. GOP is close to a ceiling in Texas. Trump only added about 150k from Bush in 04. Dems have increased by over a million since then and the closing in the gap isn’t just going to suddenly slow down because the numbers about even now. It’s going to likely accelerate to the left even more driven by the population growth, urbanization, and loss of the suburbs (which was sped up by Trump). |

So...let me get this straight.
It is apparently a good thing for Democrats that there is extremely high in-person voter turnout in Texas....but in nearly every other state we have data, Republicans outnumber Democrats with the in-person vote?
Funny. Almost....as if....Texas...has a...very....restrictive...mail in ballot option I went slow so you could understand. |
