Dem turnout larger than GOP's in every one of the 4 districts TX GOP gerrymandered to gain seats in November

Here are 4 districts the TX GOP gerrymandered to gain seats in November, with the Dem and GOP primary vote. Dems outvoted GOPs in every one of them.

Its hard to overstate how rare it is to see Dem turnout in a midterm primary election exceeding that of a presidential election.

Wow, the Dem primary turnout among Hispanic voters in Texas is going to be giving the GOP sweats for the next 8 months.

Take Zapata County - turnout in the Dem primary there yesterday was 143% the total number of votes Harris won in the 2024 general election. That's wild.

i’ve said from the jump that this was gonna bite them in the ass. their big mistake was using the 24 results. if they’d taken a longer view, they’d have done things differently.

hahahahahahaaahhaaaa.
