I am looking at the data from the Texas Tribune, and they are saying that since 2016, 1.8 million voters have been added to the register. I do not know the total number of registered voters in Texas, but based on what they are saying, it is 53.1% of registered voters have voted so far. Most have done so in person (47.6% did so in person and 5.6% did so by mail). The voter turnout in 2016 was 59.4%. So yes the number of people who have voted is higher than 2016, but percentage wise it is not yet. Still means go out and vote, but I am not freaking out here yet. Could there be voting fraud, yes I think we have seen evidence of it quite clearly. But the President has a massive amount of support in Texas, more so than Ted Cruz does IMO. In 2018 Governor Abbott way outperformed Ted Cruz and won by over 13 points. And Abbott seems to be pretty pro Trump. Are Abbott voters the same as Trump voters, I would say for the mass majority of them, yes. Trump has gained ground with Blacks and Hispanics. We will all know for sure come Election Day, but for sure Texas Pedes need to go out and VOTE! If not to keep Texas firmly Red then to just increase the Popular vote for President Trump. For all we know, Trump voters are storming the polls throughout Texas and will do so on Election Day even more so. Still be vigilant for fraud, but vote!
