Is Texas About To Turn Blue? Not According To Early Voting Data

A much larger reason that Dallas judgeships are in Dem hands is because the local GOP lets many positions run unopposed. On my ballot today were at least FOUR unopposed Democrats running for election or re-election as a judge.

I am talking about the difference between the 2004 election and 2006.

Go dig out the sample ballots for 04-06. You will see an alarming number of judgeships left to run unopposed.

I was shocked to see *only* four running unopposed this year. There have been years in the past 20 where the local GOP let ten to twenty contests go unopposed.

Note to political pundits -— never assume. All of my employees and I voted early this year because wild horses couldn’t make us wait any longer to be “heard” at the ballot box. We cast a lot of REPUBLICAN votes, too, by the way.

Making predictions costs nothing. That’s why they are so popular with scammers.

That is funny stuff. You are right.

If you notice this 2000 election map Dallas County was red. That was because we in the Dallas County Republican
Party, worked pretty hard to not only get Bush elected but also to also get all of the down ballots races in the solid
Republican camp.

In 2005, we had an influx into Dallas County of Katrina refugees. I had a number of them in my precinct and they
all voted democrat. Other precinct judges said the same thing.

The left may have been able to turn the big cities blue but it will be VERY difficult to turn the entire state blue.
