Where I voted there was a 30 minute wait for Republican voters, Democrats could walk right up and get their ballot.

I can certainly believe that with the numbers I am seeing in that link above in the difference in the raw votes cast.

Two hour wait for me. Never seen this type of turnout for a primary. The crowd was 95% Republican.

Obama endorses nine Texas candidates, leaves out Beto O’Rourke

On Monday, Former President Barack Obama issued a second round of midterm endorsements, including nine candidates running for office in Texas. But he’s not backing Beto.

The list of endorsements numbered 260 Democratic candidates and notably left out Rep. Beto O’Rourke, the El Paso Democrat challenging Republican Sen. Ted Cruz. A senior official working with Obama told Newsweek the former president endorsed candidates “who sought out his endorsement.”

While no official statement has been issued by either O’Rourke’s campaign or the Office of Barack Obama, an ex-spokesperson for the Democratic National Committee speculated an endorsement was not necessary for O’Rourke since he had developed his own “brand.”

“You see scenes of 50,000 people coming out for him in Texas, he has been to all 254 counties; he doesn’t need Barack Obama...I just don’t think it will necessarily help him,” the spokesperson told The Hill.

Obama’s Texas endorsements feature four candidates running for Congress, and five candidates running for the Texas Legislature.

“Today, I’m proud to endorse even more Democratic candidates who aren’t just running against something, but for something—to expand opportunity for all of us and to restore dignity, honor, and compassion to public service,” Obama said announcing the endorsements in a tweet.
