Talarico or Crockett?

The first batches of votes have been tallied in the Texas Senate primary. On the Democratic side, James Talarico is leading Jasmine Crockett so far, but early voters tend to differ significantly from Election Day voters. More than 1.3 million votes were cast early, and about 760,000 votes have been reported so far.

On the Republican side, Senator John Cornyn leads Ken Paxton and Wesley Hunt. More than 1.15 million votes were cast early in the Republican race, and around 600,000 have been reported so far.

John Cornyn spent $71 million defending his seat from Paxton in this primary! And he may have to go to a run off. That's money the Republicans won't be able to spen in Michigan, North Carolina and other tight races.

James Talarico leads by a comfortable margin with most of the early vote counted. That lead will shrink markedly when Dallas County, Jasmine Crockett’s home base, belatedly reports its early vote, but there are many smaller outstanding counties where Mr. Talarico will probably win the early vote, as well. To overcome her current deficit, Crockett will need to win the Election Day vote by a wide margin; very few Election Day votes have been tabulated so far.

Nothing like disenfranchising the electorate, Republican style!

The Texas Supreme Court has blocked a Dallas judge who ordered county polling places to be kept open two additional hours after complaints from voters who were turned away from polling places in confusion. The higher court now says that votes “cast by voters who were not in line to vote at 7 p.m. should be separated.”

The Crockett campaign and a local Democratic official said hundreds of voters in Dallas County had been flummoxed by new voting rules stemming from the county Republican Party’s decision to separate the parties’ primaries for the first time since 2019. The change meant residents must vote at an assigned precinct rather than any local voting center. Democrats said that change could be hampering turnout — and said a similar issue had played out in Williamson County, outside Austin.

And officials in El Paso County, Texas, said about 80 voting stations had experienced technical problems, leading to delays in casting ballots. A district court judge ordered all polling stations in the county to stay open an extra hour.

The Texas Supreme Court just overruled some lower court judges who let polling locations stay open later because of the confusion, let’s hope none of these races are close because it’s going to be a nightmare.
