I don't know about other states but early voting turnout in Texas has been astronomical. I'm still not going to have any optimism about a Beto win but if he was going to do so, turnout is the only path there. https://twitter.com/tbonier/status/1057097823953567744 https://twitter.com/ElectProject/status/1057700529227423745

Everyone'e models assume you're a prior voter which could lead to some amazing results if non-voter turnout is really as high as it seems

The Democratic party has not had any real presence in Texas since Ann Richards and the geniuses that run this poo poo nationally thought ~~demographics are destiny~~~ like they're just all one monolithic voting block. Frankly its a miracle that some dude who no one outside of his constituency even heard of 24 months ago made an actual race out of this. A Texas Senate race hasn't been decided by less than 10 points in ages.

This was a pretty good run for the left considering just how loving empty the cabinet was after the butchering they took during The Decorum Years. Texas alone saw 12(maybe 13) state House races flip, including shitheads like Texas House Freedom Caucus Gloryboy Matt Rinaldi and 'Bathroom Bill' writer Ron Simmons. I think the business community in Texas is starting to realize that letting the crazies run everything was going to end badly so I expect to see the more moderate sides of the GOP and the larger Democrat caucus to work together to keep the culture war poo poo on the back burner. Democrats also flipped two seats in the Senate which will annoy Dan Patrick to no end. It won't really improve life in Texas because we're just going to full speed ahead slash taxes and education, but maybe we can hold off hanging the LGBTQ+ community in the town square for a bit.

AreWeDrunkYet posted:They still have to win primaries, and the Republican base is gladly on board with Trump's ride into the gutter. Most of the business minded Republicans are in pretty safe districts with regards to who their base and funding is, ie more affluent white people. Don't get me wrong, come Sunday morning all these people are attending horrible churches but most of them don't actually care, its just the required social setting. These fucks only care about one thing and that is making more money which means not letting Dan Patrick and his fundamentalist loonies strangle the goose that lays the golden egg. Its why we'll almost certainly see another Texas House Speaker like Joe Straus who had the support of moderate/business Republicans and Democrats and is pretty much the sole reason the Texas HFC hasn't gotten their way.

Can anything be done regarding all the road closures/machines pulled to rectify the issue, or is it "lol suck it dems" without recourse? Versus the "lol suck it dems" we will have if there is recourse "suck it dems" because the courts up to and including SCOTUS are ok with it

I don't much care if it is embarrassing for her, she deserves it. The only problem is that there's always someone worse waiting in the wings. I dunno. At some point you begin to run out of people who can navigate the bureaucracy and everything stops.
