Thanks I am in Tarrant county and this is useful I didnt think Tarrant would go blue but it appears it did slightly but the numbers to me still do not make sense.
Here was the count for President:
Trump - 409741
Biden - 411567
There were 22 other races where each candidate got over 200k votes these were primarily Supreme Court and District Judges but included Senator, County Tax Assessor, Sheriff and Railroad Commissioner. All 22 were won by Republicans.
The average vote count in those 22 races:
Rep- 425149
Dem- 376911
Somehow Biden on average had 34k MORE votes than his downballot Dems and Trump had just over 15k LESS votes than his downballot Republicans.
That makes no sense that more Republicans voted downballot than they did for the President. On top of that 8.5% of all dems in the country just voted for Biden and then did not vote on the rest.
Now I know Tarrant County has seen an influx of people from California over the last 5 years (that includes myself) but majority of these people are not like me and continue to vote Blue down ballot no matter what.
So I dont think you can make the argument that its all the Californians who came in and voted just Biden and not the rest. That still wouldnt explain how 3.6% of Republicans voted downballot but not for the President.
Also you cant argue that maybe those 3.6% were Republicans who voted for Biden but then downballot for Republicans because BIden's difference is more than double that percentage (8.5% to 3.6%)
There was definitely fuckery that happened in Texas or at least Tarrant County.
