Texas vote was...Interesting...

Texas, a state that Trump won handily, added over 559k Dem votes from 2012,(17% increase) and 339k from 2008 (10% increase). GOP increase was more stable at 112k (2%) and 202k (5%) respectively.
Dem numbers show a large drop in 2012 (-6%) but then this ridiculous jump this year even eclipsing 2008 by 10%.
So either Hillary just rocked the vote so hard in Texas that she motivated nearly 560,000 more voters than Obama in '12, or there were a shite ton of illegal alien votes added.

One other factor is the libtards from Cali moving in to places like Austin. They don't understand that the reason they had to move was their job and the reason their job moved was to escape democrat Cali to conservative Texas.yet they want to make Texas Cali.

I'll try to check the precinct numbers and see how Austin looked comparatively.

Hmmm, I wonder which one

Lot's of Univision watchers in Texas. Many of them don't speak much English. Trump didn't campaign very much in Texas. Houston Chronicle, Dallas Morning News, San Antonio Express, Austin American Statesman (I think) all recommended Hillary. Media did most of the talking for Trump in Texas and it wasn't flattering.

As much as I share your distaste for those people, they are not the clueless socialist migrants I'm most worried about.

Not sure about the others, but the Dallas Morning News recommended Hillary.

Don't worry TX is still very strong republican.
You have 3 of 10 of the most rapidly growing cities in the Texas.
You have large Mexican population (Houston is 52% Mexican) similar with Dallas and San Antonio.
Trumps remarks regarding Mexicans and immigrants persuaded a few registered republicans to vote for Hillary. Houston surpassed NYC as the most ethnically diverse city in the country. Remarks on immigration didn't help Trump there.

You are correct. That is what I meant to say. Just about every major newspaper backed Hillary. I canceled my Chronicle subscription back during the Bush years. 
Nice catch.
