Texas 2022 megathread

[Minnesota Mike]

What I am looking forward to is Louie Gohmert finishing 4th in the AG race. I love it when a sitting congressperson gives up a safe seat only to crash and burn in a primary.

Especially considering that his likely replacement in Congress (County Judge Nate Moran) is much saner and less incendiary than him.

Well he wouldn't be in Congress anymore, so that is good as well.

[Real Texan Politics]

At this point we can pretty much project, even before polls close in both time zones, that Beto O'Rourke will be the democratic nominee for governor of Texas.

[Shaula🏳️‍⚧️]

Trafalgar polls just came out showing Abbott at 62% in the primary. I very highly doubt this will end in a runoff barring some huge unforeseen turnout differences.

But is Beto contested for the nomination at all? It’s tough to say, nobody on here has addressed that topic yet

Is it that hard for you to look up? Lots of info on the internet.

If you must ask, I was joking because about 27 different people on team Beto have mentioned this in regards to turnout

[Continential]

The polls have closed everywhere except for in El Paso.

Bexar county results

https://home.bexar.org/el45a.html

 Cisneros is getting 72% of the vote in TX28 in the county.

[Minnesota Mike]

Beto at 90% early. It's over.

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

Guzman is probably the most tolerable Republican running for AG (simply by process of elimination, the others YECH) so her making the runoff would be a good outcome, although based on these results she probably has no chance of winning it. Can Democrats crossover to a runoff after voting in the D primary?

I know Texas has open primaries, but I'm not sure what the rule is when it comes to runoffs.

Voters in the democratic primary must vote in the democratic runoff and voters in the republican primary must vote in republican runoff, if they didn’t vote in either primary then they can choose which party runoff to vote in

NYT called it for Abbott

[Real Texan Politics]

Proud to have supported Huffines, even with the tough (but expected) loss.

Anyways, this race is now Abbott vs Beto, as we all expected.

[Suburbia]

Beto will lose by 6 points.

End of story

On to 2026

[SnowLabrador]

Beto will lose by 6 points.

That's pretty optimistic for Democrats. I think it'll be between Abbott's 2014 and 2018 margins.

[Kahane's Grave Is A Gender-Neutral Bathroom]

It seems that Paxton is going into a runoff. Who would perform best against him?

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

Beto will lose by 6 points.

End of story

On to 2026

LoL do you ever stop it's nine mnths till election Approvals don't elect politicians, we as voters do Biden is not at 37/55 Approvals Trump in IPSOS is at 39, Biden is at 44 and that is close to 50, if we get 50 anything can happen

[Fusternino]

GOP turnout well ahead in Harris County. Sort of a bad sign for the Democrats . . .

LoL the Democratic turnout is low due to Non competetive Primary, Beto was assured the Nominationin Nov everyone H and Senate will be up we beat Ra in every election 65/60 including 80/75 M Newsom and TMac got high turnout

Users act like we lost the NPVI to RS every election cycle look under Election results we max turnout over Rs including 80/75 M in  20

GEORGE P BUSH NOW TIED WITH GUZMAN- Literally

[_.]

Cuellar's gonna win and he's gonna win much bigger than he did in 2020.

Bexar doesn't have many more votes left to give, and the Rio Grande Valley's breaking hard against Cisneros. Webb County has plenty more Cuellar votes where his recent surge came from, not to mention Starr, which hasn't even started reporting.

As of 8:58 PM Central Time:

50.39% - 12,170 Votes - Cisneros
44.99% - 10,864 Votes - Cuellar

[NOVA Green]

So looks like both the DEM & PUB TX Primaries are going to run-offs?
