I will be using NYT as my primary source of information for making my independent projections. Feel free to share other sources.

Looking forward to a fun primary cycle!

The 2022 election season will begin! I'm so hyped!
I'm really interested in how powerful anti-establishment forces on the left and right end up being, as it could have huge signs for how primaries such as PA-SEN, OH-SEN and AZ-SEN will go.

[Pink Panther]

Wonder what happened to the FBI Raid on Cuellar's house?

[Shaula🏳️‍⚧️]

I'm sure most people are focused on the congressional and gubernatorial/attorney general primaries, but are there any State Senate/State House primaries which are interesting or we should keep an eye on?

Maybe the 62nd district? That’s where Shelley Luther is running.

What does everyone think about Cisneros? I really feel like she's gonna beat Cuellar this time.

I agree, especially after the FBI raid, and I believe a lot more of San Antonio was drawn into the district this time which I think should benefit Cisneros. Definitely a big one to watch, but has potential to go to a runoff.

How do you think Tannaya Benavides will do?

Who? /s

Probably a very distant third.

Some basic information.

Per: https://www.politics1.com/tx.htm

There are 223 Democrats and Republicans running for the U.S House.  32 are incumbents, so 191 are non-incumbents.  

122 Republican non incumbents, 92 men and 30 women, 49 'visible minority' (about 40%)
69 Democratic  non incumbents, 37 men and 32 women, 44 'visible minority.'

19 of the 32 incumbents are facing primary challenges. Obviously due to the redistricting, the term 'incumbent' is a bit looser this time.

[Roll Roons]

Texas is fairly quick at counting votes, right?

[Real Texan Politics]

Any polling for the 8th district? That's my district, wanna see how Luttrell and Collins are doing.

There hasn't been any polling done, which honestly surprises me. I hope it's a runoff.

[Benjamin Frank]

Anybody know any Texas radio or television stations that will be broadcasting primary results and analysis?

[MargieCat]

Texas is fairly quick at counting votes, right?

Yes. They are quite fast here.

Probably a very distant third.

Actually I'll rephrase this a bit. She'll absolutely come in a distant third beneath Cisneros and Cuellar, but could do well enough to prevent either one from getting 50%, meaning Cisneros and Cuellar head to the May 24th runoff.

And if that's the case, who's favored then?

Cuellar probably benefits the most since his base is older voters more likely to vote in a runoff but IDK if they'll be as willing to turn out for him after the FBI raid.

Im very interested in the results of this race and in the districts with Greg Cesar and Jessica Mason.
I think and hope Cisneros narrowly pulls it off tonight. I think when you lose an election as narrowly as she did just like Marie Newman it helps you win a rematch. Im hoping here in CA David Kim and Angelica Duenas can win their rematches.
This is gonna be one interesting night!

Majority of the vote is early votes and that usually drops quick. If a race is real close though it takes a while to count election day votes.

Results should be coming in very soon, as polls have now closed in Texas (- El Paso).

EDIT: Results are starting to come through. O'Rourke leading BIG in Texas counties with over half of the vote in.
