Thanks for a very informative article. Hope you will provide this analysis after each day of early voting.

My wife and I have made 8 abortive attempts to vote early in San Antonio but had to leave because of long lines. We tried another location today, which was supposed to have shorter line, but it was still too long. We did not see such voter enthusiasm in 2020. I am not complaining, as I agree with you that when more people vote, then Democrats typically do better. We will try again tomorrow to vote.

Does Bexar county show the wait times of polling places on their website? Tarrant does, it’s very helpful.

I do plan on doing daily updates, but I’m not sure the Secretary of State updates their site on Sunday. But I’ll try to update every day the SoS does.

In Dallas County the open hours for early voting from Oct. 21-25 was 8:00am-5:00pm. Saturday, Oct. 26 hours 7:00am-7:00pm; Sunday, Oct. 27 hours noon-6:00pm. Next week hours 7:00am-7:00 pm. I don't remember Dallas County ever having these kind of hours for voting. I am hopeful that the early voting numbers will rise significantly.

The US must get rid of the racist and archaic electoral college. There is no reason for this. Every vote should count, a 1 for 1.

my pet theory, rather than being beacon's of free speech and democracy most MSM outlets have taken the tac that they hope will preserve their survival in Trump 2.0, by minimizing the odiousness of Trump to their audience..

It is shameful,

I saw a fantastic clip today from the guy on the Breakfast Club with Anderson Cooper. He called out CNN for not speaking against Trump's fascism enough. Anderson Cooper called it bullshit, but it isn't. I was thinking of including that clip soon. I'll make sure to download it tonight.

is that "Charelamane tha god" ? anywho he called out Cooper who claimed he is just a straight line reporter representing both sides fairly....Cooper's whole argument is a scam.....of course CNN and all its shows are opinionators and entertainers.........they have even revived the reviled "Crossfire' on several evening programs..........the moderator gives equal time to legit D pundits and the nuttiest and ugliest meme generating MAGA turds*..............i don't watch CNN anymore.....and have canceled FWST......problem is there are few places for john q. public to easily get informed

its as if the propagandists are winning...........whoda thunk...well certainly not CNN

*one of the turds, responding to "Don hearts Adolph* says ...and i paraphrase......"there are 1000's of little Hitlers on college campuses denying free speech to.......blah blah blah........."........

1000's of little Hitlers???? meaning lefty Dem pro-Palestinian students i quess.......whollly fuck Anderson, your network had this guy back on TV the very next nite......and CNN pays him too!

This the front page Opinion Headline from the only Lib editorialist on the FWST. they have 4 MAGA editorialists.

"25 reasons why Cruz, Texas Republicans are winning so far and Colin Allred is not."

Bud Kennedy - FWST

Most of the reasons are pure conjecture and mostly wrong.

This is what happens when political parties , State and Local, abandon what likely could be a solid purple district.

The local press hears only from MAGA and thus caters to them.
