1/ Early voting figures can be confusing and easy to misunderstand.

Here are the facts you need to know about turnout in Texas so far. #tx2020 bit.ly/2PkaIC0
2/ First: Is early voting surging compared to 2016?

Too soon to make any bold claims.

Assumptions based on vote totals alone are problematic because they don't account for changes in population or the # of registered voters.
3/ That's why we're tracking % turnout in the state’s biggest counties rather than raw numbers, and comparing 2020 turnout to elections past — it's all relative.

(Percent turnout is calculated by dividing # of ballots cast by # of registered voters). bit.ly/2PkaIC0

A few updates on what's happening with my christackettnow webpage / dashboards. I'm changing the structure on some of the pages, which I hope will keep the info just as clear, but allow a deeper dive if that's what you are looking for. I'll detail changes below.
First up is a new page for Texas statewide races. I had done posts about statewide elements, but had not dedicated space on the site for them. That has changed. Gov, Lt Gov, Commish (RR, Ag and Land), Attny General, & Comptroller are all captured. bit.ly/txstatewide #txlege
Please note that since Greg Abbott is a freaking donation machine, the Statewide page can take a few seconds to load. Seriously. Abbott has had 77,733 donations since 01/01/2017. #txlege
