Based on precinct results from Tarrant & Ellis counties (generously shared with me by @cinyc9), I see no evidence that #TX06 Democrats voted for Ellzey in significant numbers. (1/5)
First, there was no relationship between how Democratic a precinct was in the May 1 jungle primary and how much it voted for Ellzey today. #TX06 (2/5) 
Second, the biggest turnout dropoffs from the first round came in bluer precincts, suggesting that most Democrats simply sat today's election out. #TX06 (3/5)
Finally, while there were a handful of precincts where the number of votes cast today was greater than the number of votes received by GOP candidates on May 1, those precincts weren't disproportionately Democratic. #TX06 (4/5)
Caveat: Anecdotal evidence suggests *some* #TX06 Democrats did vote Ellzey in protest. And in a close race, any small bloc of votes can matter. But there was no large-scale Democratic meddling here. (5/5)
