If you’ve not been following Tex:
-A series of exurban counties have already exceeded their 2016 total vote
-Asian and college+ whites have, as well
-Harris Co, the largest in the state, will surpass its 2016 total votes today.
There’s still two days left of EV + e day.

The Dems are making a more aggressive final play than Republicans in Texas.
But Texas Dems want more - namely an 11th hour Biden trip

FORT WORTH
Bacon burnt ends, standard Texas q, Tarrant County Dem HQ and the county’s main early vote center (in English, Spanish and Vietnamese)
I visited 4 early voting locations in Tex. The most striking was in Tarrant Co, where the voting population is roughly half white & half non-white. Trump won it by 9
The voters I net were heavily young, non-white + for Biden.
Tarrant will exceed ‘16 turnout before e day

Last point on Texas
Trump’s constant tweets about guns and gas is a vivid illustration of how dated views of the state are
There are more Nguyens than Bakers in Houston
@tedcruz said it best - “We’re not home to just oil and gas wildcatters.”
