How did Paxton win Galveston

How did Paxton win Galveston comfortably? It’s not like it is 90% white. It’s only 47% white.
ETA: somebody pointed out that Galveston County demographics are different than the city itself, which is the number I used above, so I retract. The something is not adding up part of my post.

Ken Paxton beat James Talarico in Galveston County, and the official numbers are not a rumor. Paxton took 52 percent there, 69,943 votes, and Talarico took 46.1 percent, 62,051 votes, with Ted Brown picking up 1.9 percent, and every precinct is already in, about 134,598 ballots counted. Galveston voted Republican at the top of the ticket while they told you Talarico took the state at about 55 to 43.

Galveston Bay is a whole other world.

Galveston county extends up I45 to Webster/Clear Lake. Texas City, Lamarque, Dickinson, Bayview, San Leon, Laporte, etc are full of plant baws (white, black, hispanic) that work at the plants and near the ship channel and Galveston Bay. Then you have a mix of upper class suburbs as you get closer to Harris County, but most of the population is south of that.

Galveston County is 54% white. (Not that it's a reliable voting predictor)
Trump won Galveston County in 2024 with 63.08% 100,295 votes to Harris's 35.68% 56,732 votes.
Just like everywhere else in Texas, Paxton underperformed Trump and Talarico overperformed Harris.

I moved from Harris county to Galveston county just for this reason. The entire League City leadership are Red as is the county.

You're right. There was obviously fraud across the vast majority of the state and country.

The Dem establishment vote riggers were more focused on the larger urban areas for the steal.

This is a winning message and really resounds with the electorate.

I don't care if the truth is a "winning message." I don't care about "optics." Only losers think that is something we should be worrying ourselves with.

Engineers and company owners. A client who retired lives there on Clear Creek, very nice home. Sadly, due his failed eyesight he can no longer drive his Rolls Royce.
Same dude who told me that Ron Paul was a nutcase but he brought home so much bacon they made money from his scam. His son received a Bronze Star in Iraq 20 years ago as an Army captain fresh out of aTm, Corps of Cadets. Admitted that the USMC saved their asses. Guy next to him had his head blown off per Jack.

Clear Lake is an awesome suburb to live in. It has everything you could possible need/want. Lots of NASA engineers and medical doctors. Combined with the plant baws to the south, it makes sense it was red this election.

He had a buddy who was an R&D chemist at Shell Development Company who became a partner. They developed a dye to put in toilet water to which changed colors when you were over alcohol limit to drive. It never caught on. If I remember correctly, they even advertised in Playboy back in the 80s.. It wouldn't surprise me if he had spent millions at that strip club on I-45 in League City. All unit managers at Amoco, then BP, now Marathon went there at noon once a week, usually Fridays.
