Breathtaking: statewide, Texas just surpassed 80% of its total 2016 votes cast, leading the nation. And there's still more than a week of voting to go.
Also, tbh the dropbox issue was never going to have that big an impact on turnout b/c a relatively tiny share of TX voters is eligible to vote by mail to begin with.
You know what will have a big impact on TX's outcome? Turnout in the heavily Hispanic border counties, which is currently at ~32% of registered voters compared to 50%+ in TX's major metro suburbs.
To be clear, 32% at this point isn't terrible by historical standards, including 2016/2018. It just underscores how much untapped potential there is for Dems in that region of the state.
