Texas Early Ballot Returns Show Recent Polls Are Wrong As GOP Dominates 53% to 37%

With 6,209,849 ballots cast, the GOP dominates the early vote. 53% GOP to 37% DEM. About 44% of all registered voters have voted. Youth vote as a percentage collapses to 11% of total votes from 19% in 2016. Recent polls have suggested DJT and Biden are tied. These are not accurate given the over 6,000,000 sample of actual voter data. https://www.toptradeguru.com/news/elections-2020/results/texas-early-ballot-returns-shows-polls-are-wrong/

Due to covid, colleges are unable to mobilize their students to vote.

i believe this is it right here... because liberals are so afraid of Covid-19, and have overly-bought into social distancing, they have no ground game... no door-to-door... no tables, pens and clip boards to register new voters... there are lost of commercials telling everyone to vote, saying how important it is to vote... but the commercials are not targeted... the commercials are geared toward everyone in general... i really hope that the left's politicizing of Covid-19 comes back to bite them in low voter turn out among their own demographics...

...history had proven that Democrats will pivot back to the center.
________________
They lack a center.

They lack a bench.

They will be fighting among themselves and the biggest names will be facing (maybe international) indictments.

Look for a Potemkin 3rd party and some charismatic “not-a-politician” left-wing version of DJT to be set up and run as a moderate populist.

Look for the same play within the GOP.

We need careful vetting going forward.

The Republicans better vote early where they can because the Democrats are going to cause chaos on Election Day to try and drive off Republican voters. In some places it will be violent protests the weekend or day before or early day of Election Day. In others it will be more stringent cleaning and distancing rules to make lines as slow as possible so voters will walk away. Be prepared if determined to vote on ED but get shaky voters to vote EARLY in person!!

[georgiarat]

Vote in primaries if one does not like the Republican candidates but too many Freeper service saying they will not vote for their .Senator or .Rep because they are not pure enough or they do not like this or that vote. Always remember the Democrat will be worse. Hell even Romney is better than a .Democrat alternative in Utah.

[reformedliberal]

Yes.

It is about control of the Houses of Congress and the government.

Also:

Judiciary
Counties
Municipalities
Schools

Ben Shapiro needs to change his thinking on polling.

“The “battleground states” this year will be Virginia, Colorado, and New Mexico.”

I hope you’re right, but if Trump’s numbers are this strong already in Texas, then I’m going to extrapolate a little and say that Ohio, Florida and Iowa are safe, and Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania are probably leaning to Trump. And I will give Trump a slight edge even in Minnesota.

What I was saying was that all the “so called” swing states are going to be Trump states—easily.

The “new” swing states are states that the Democrats expected to carry without any trouble.

This video (if you have not seen it) walks you through the early voting and it shows why an easy Trump victory is in the cards:

Thank you for that link, everyone here should watch that. I’m feeling more hopeful now.

So ridiculous that the left including Fox News says this. Yes. 2018 was too close for comfort for the senate seat. But that’s mainly because Cruz made an ass of himself in 2016 and voters remembered. The governor won by a wide margin.

[Republican Wildcat]

People need to vote wherever they are - whether the state be purple, deep red, or deep blue. Just get out there and vote. You could impact a local “dog catcher” race you haven’t heard of that can have national implications even if your state as a whole is blue.

[Republican Wildcat]

Dewitt County went 82% Trump in 2016.

Good stuff - hopefully the turnout there will only increase in areas like that. As you certainly know, it isn't just the margin of victory in a locale, but the turnout that goes with that margin victory that counts the most to winning the state.

[Republican Wildcat]

Cruz is just generally unlikable. That shouldn’t matter but it does...a lot. His voice and his cynical expression just make him seem unpleasant.

[whistleduck]

Thank you for serving your nation on behalf of those of us unable to do so. We need strong patriots now-thanks.

I agree. I can't stand the guy. He just oozes that late-night televangelist sleaze.

People complain about Donald Trump being unlikeable but Trump is Johnny Carson when compared to Ted Cruz. (Personally I would consider Trump even more likable than Carson.)

Now of course I'd vote for him over a liberal any day of the week. But let's hope he never becomes our presidential nominee - he would get crushed in a national contest.

Trump talking about how well he’s doing and how ahead he is, is making me a little nervous as it may cause the lefties to come out more in the next 10 days. Am I wrong?

[dandiegirl]

Newsome is crashing and burning with his Covid craziness.

[dfwgator]

I saw his approvals in Cali were still pretty high.

[Do_Tar]

> Is that some weird Beatles reference?

I am the walrus.

[dandiegirl]

I really like Cruz. I think he would have made a good president. Doesn’t annoy me at all, but that’s just me. It takes a lot for someone to get on my nerves. Now Kamala... her voice is horrible.
