Texas early voting is getting interesting.
Collin and Denton are two huge Republican-leaning suburban counties. Trump won Collin by about 11 points and Denton by about 13 in 2024.

These are NOT Democratic and Republican votes.
Texas doesn’t register voters by party.
This is based on whether voters previously participated in a Democratic or Republican primary. It’s a proxy for partisan history, not who they voted for this year.

Voted yes on Amendment 3.
Voted yes on Amendment 6.

Amendment 6 would put explicit language into the Missouri Constitution saying ballot summaries must be clear, unbiased, fair, accurate and easy to understand, and that Missouri courts cannot be prevented by the legislature from adjudicating and rewriting all or part of a ballot summary.
Just a public service announcement to let you know that the only time a billionaire funded an amendment in Missouri was for right-to-work.
