Ditto on that, out of 4500 voters in my precinct only about 970 voted. Of those 970, about 65 percent are republican. It was a very poor turnout in precinct 347 of Austin, TX.

In general Texas voted at a smaller rate than in the 2002 general when the 'dream team' was supposed to win. In 02 there were some 12.5 million registered voters versus just over 13 million this time. A little over 4.5 million voted in 02 as opposed to just under 4.4 million this time. And the Governor's race with its cast should have upped the turnout, I'd have guessed.

Whoa! A GOP majority precinct in Austin?

Who'd a thought that was possible?
