While 100% voter turnout is a good sign, it's by no means a definitive indication that Texas will go democrat.

While it's better voter turnout than Texas has ever seen, I've also seen more and more people break out their Trump gear.

Most models have predicted a Blue Arizona. It's essentially just not even a battleground state this year.

Is there any Indication that this massive turnout isnt due to republicans turning out in masse?

Yeah, it's more likely than Arizona goes blue than Texas.

Not that Texas is impossible, but I wouldn't get excited just yet.

What I can say is when I went to go cast my early vote, there were A LOT of black people in line. Of all age groups, too.

It's gonna be a close fight at the very least.

I hate to bring up 2016 but it is pretty arrogant to boldly predict a solid red state suddenly swinging blue. Yes, Texas has been red too, but Texas has a way better resume for turning blue than Arizona.

That's the site where the picture is from. It has a breakdown of D/R/I votes from the states that report that info.

Also, nationally, we had about 53 million early votes in 2016. In 2020, we have almost 84 million with a day left in early voting.

It's honestly not looking good for the Dems if you only count the in-person votes. If mail in ballots are counted though they have it in the bag pretty much.

yep yep, Republicans want these numbers to be in states that don't matter, not Texas, Georgia, North Carolina, Florida, Ohio, and etc.

There is literally no justification for mail in ballots that are already received not getting counted. SCOTUS rulings are all centered around late arrivals and extending deadlines. If you see a "ballots returned" number, those are getting counted. Period.

Is the closest percentage Texas has been to voting Democrat like 44% since the 1970's? Am I reading those stats correctly?

EDIT: I should add that I googled that stat and it wasn't posted in the topic.

Increased voter participation does typically mean better numbers for Democrats, however that doesn't mean simply having more people voting compared to a prior election is going to flip a solid red state, just make it pinker.

I live in Kansas, we'll have more voters this year than last year, this is one of the closest presidential elections for the state in a long time. It's still going to go to Trump. I'm just hoping that this blue shift has stronger down-ballot ramifications.

People need to also realize that Texas is a really low-voting state. Higher turnout has historically favored dems.

Not saying it's a given that it'll turn blue, but the fact this discussion is even taking place should worry Republicans

If it means anything, we also had increased voter turnout in 2018, and Beto O'Rourke came closer to beating Ted Cruz than anyone would have thought.

Oh Texas will definitely be closer, it could potentially even flip but digging out of a Republican stronghold is still tricky.

This is simply not true? Like, Arizona elected a Democratic senator two years ago when Texas was reelecting Ted Cruz.

Texas has massive liberal hubs in the cities. If turnout in those areas goes way up, and the red surrounding areas is even slightly less enthusiastic for Trump than they were in 2016, a blue Texas is perfectly possible
