Whoa. I stand corrected. That's downright bizarre, but I'm still optimistic. One would assume the vast majority of Texans didn't vote in the primary because they knew President Trump would get the nomination hands down, and so didn't bother. It's a much weaker argument, but it could be that Texans are fired up--and don't want to put a mask on to go to the polls. I have to admit, if I suspected I might have to mask up to vote, I might be tempted to take my chances with a mail-in ballot.
Either way, the discrepancy between the primaries and election is more than enough to raise suspicion. Something's rotten in the state of Texas.
No, there's nothing nefarious in the difference between primaries and the general election. It's always been that way. You can look at the historical election results:
In 2016, there were 15,101,087 registered voters. With 16,955,519 registered voters in 2020, that's a 12.28% increase in registered voters. It shouldn't be surprising to see more votes cast this year.

Yes, it looks like more people are voting early. But, it remains to be seen if Election Day turnout will be the same, or lower.
