How come the total “reg. voters” for each the dimmys and pubbies are identical? Am I reading the first column wrong or is the state of Texas evenly assigning each registered voter to a party....you know....one for you, one for me, two for you, two for me.........

Texas doesn’t register voters by party. That is the total register voters in the state for this election. They choose their party affiliation when they go to the voting precinct and select which party primary they are voting in. That assigns them to that party for the runoffs, etc. Every two years new registrations cards are issue and the process starts over.
No party registration in Texas.
We do not register by party in Texas, so the number must be total registered voters. I am really surprised by the numbers in Travis County, which is heavily Democratic.
