Results of key races in Texas' primary elections

Tender Branson said:
That is good news … for Republicans.

Not all precincts are counted so far (98% in both primaries), so final turnout will be 1.95 million in the R primary (1.91 right now) and about 1.1 million in the D primary (currently 1.05 million).

When compared to the 2018 primaries in March, R turnout increased from 1.55 million then to 1.95 million now.

D turnout remained stagnant at 1.1 million.

Texas has an open primary system. ANY voter can vote in either the republican primary or the democrat primary. There is no way to know the party affiliation of who voted in either primary. Be cautious when looking at turnout data.
 
From what I have heard (from a precinct judge I had lunch with) Harris county's switch to the new paper ballots
did not go smoothly. The county voting officials were handing out incomplete or improper forms, in some cases as much as
70% of the voting machines could not be made to operate. The paper ballot scanners would not take some ballots, ect.
My experience (in Early voting) went smoothly, but the new process is much more complicated, thanks to the county democrat leadership.

I'm not a party member, as you know, so I'm not sure. It's not something I worry about.

I think they use the caucus system.

BlueTex said:
Texas does not record party affiliation with registration so everyone is an "independent" for the purposes of primary elections. Voter choose to vote in one of the primaries. For instance, yesterday in Texas there could have been thousands and thousands of democrats who voted in the republican primary. By law you can only vote in one primary or the other.

One should always use caution when looking at turnout numbers for primary elections in Texas.

Okay.

Nice to know if one is a Texan. Not something I'm concerned about.

So you now disagree that your assertion in post 6 was bunk? That voters from BOTH parties were turned away at various locations?

County voting officials were handing out the wrong ballots? What other "forms" are there in a primary?

Did you vote in the democrat primary? If not, what the hell does the "county democrat leadership" have to do with your vote in the republican primary?

While Republicans have often seen complaints about possible electoral fraud brushed off, footage has emerged from a Texas polling station that appears to validate their concerns.

“Okay, with this election, you can vote in any precinct,” the staff member can be heard saying before the voter asks whether Republicans can cast a ballot.


“We–I don’t have staff, so we are closed right now,” the staffer declares in response as he emphatically shakes his head.

However, when the voter asks if he would be permitted to vote for a Democratic candidate, the staffer says he is allowed to do so, saying, “You can vote Democrat, not Republican–I’m sorry.”

Same incident in both links... The Texas GOP did not staff this voting location so a Republican primary vote could not be held here...

Nothing in post #6 was bunk.

I made a statement that is true and I gave one example...also true.

I certainly didn't say that example was the only issue.

The switch to the new voting machines, that use a printed paper ballot, was driven by the democrat leadership of Harris county,
So yes the democratic leadership dictated which machines every voter in Harris county must vote with, even Republicans!
The paper ballots were in some cases not given out, and in others the wrong length of paper ballots were handed out.
The new voting machines are basically a printer, so if you attempt to print to the wrong length of paper, the printer throws an error,
or the document is not printer correctly. In ether case the scanner will then not be able to properly scan whatever is actually printed,
so the system cannot record the vote, and the ballot must be manually counted.
They also switched from voting precincts to voting locations, so in case of a recount, Every single ballot in the county must be counted,
even if the race is local to a small area of the county.

Yes you did. What do you think posting 'video shows...' means in your post #38? No pictures, broken links. Try again-and try being honest this time.

The switch to the new machines in Harris County, caused polls to be closed for both parties because of improper supplies from the County election officials.

Hey. Don't blame me if you got triggered and totally misinterpreted my comment.

Yeah. I now know more than I did about Texas than I did yesterday. And I'll forget it all tomorrow, since I don't care about your open primary system.

One voting location ?

What about ALL the voting locations where Democratic votes were suppressed by Republicans and their new voter ID law - aimed at keeping Democratic voters away from the polls ?

How did the law stop only Democrats from voting? I keep hearing this from the left, but never any clear examples of it happening. Seems the election laws apply to all.
