Lackluster early voting numbers say otherwise. And Harris is the least dem of the big dem counties while Denton is a solid R county.

yeaahhhhhh I wouldn't exactly use those numbers to prove that Republicans are doing well in Texas...
Harris County is a Democratic powerhouse by now that's growing in size and atlas shades of red. I would not want to see that as a Republican
Nah...Dallas County netted >30k more votes for Clinton in 2016 than Harris did, even though Harris had almost 2x the total number of votes. That EV seems up in very Republican Montgomery and Denton while it's flat in Dallas makes me think it's conservative exurbs driving the trend.
Harris isn't as a democratic as Dallas but the the fact that it went from tied in 08 and 12 to D+13 four years means its going left and fast (also was D+17 for Beto). It's getting bigger and more democratic every year. I don't think we can assume where the turnout is coming from, but Harris turnout is not good for the GOP
