Nebraska/Florida- 100%, Ricketts and Moody will win
Maine- 80%, Collins always holds onto her seat
Iowa- 75%, Hinson is a good candidate
Kansas- 70%.
South Carolina- 65%- this one scares me, Graham is a weak candidate
Michigan- 50%, Abdul is a terrible candidate
Ohio- 40%- Vivek may sink Husted
Texas- 35%, nail biter that shouldn't be
Alaska- 25%, ranked choice voting and double Dan Sullivan BS
North Carolina/Georgia-0%, Ossoff and Cooper are winning.

Turnout in urban areas is very high while rural/suburban areas haven't matched. We have to pray that Talafreako runs relatively weak with Hispanics compared to Hispanic House candidates in South Texas that may peel off some House districts.

I was at my inlaws in the woodlands over the weekend and was surprised to see Talarico signs outnumbering Paxton signs.

Historically republicans especially MAGA republicans are more likely to display campaign signs

Need black and hispanic support for Talafreako to be weak to overcome the AWFL's that are proliferating in Texas.

I’d switch Maine and South Carolina but otherwise that’s a solid list

Thanks for putting this together.

A lot of these races will finish within a couple of points.

51%-49% or
52%-48% type of results

If by betting, you mean voting, then yes I have already bet on him.

Please go on, without doing any research

Texas early voting update, Oct. 27

The newest statewide reporting I can find shows just over 5.1 million Texans have already voted in the 2026 general election.

Total: 5,137,795
In person: 4,904,201
By mail: 233,594
What we know about R vs. D

Texas does not register voters by political party, so these are not actual Republican/Democratic vote totals. However, voting history gives us a useful indicator.

Among the in-person voters:

?? Republican-primary-only voters: 1,585,594 (32.3%)
?? Democratic-primary-only voters: 1,565,380 (31.9%)
?? Voted in both parties' primaries: 145,913 (3.0%)
? No primary history: 1,607,314 (32.8%)

So among voters with a clear single-party primary history, Republicans currently lead Democrats by only 20,214 voters.

Mail ballots tilt the other direction:

?? Democratic-primary history: 82,278
?? Republican-primary history: 61,857

That means when those two categories are combined across in-person and mail voting:

Democratic-primary voters: 1,647,658
Republican-primary voters: 1,647,451

That's essentially a dead heat, with Democrats ahead by 207 voters among voters with exclusive D/R primary histories.

The big wild card is the enormous group with no usable primary-party history, so this absolutely does not mean the actual statewide vote is tied.

For comparison, reporting after the first seven days put turnout at 23.4% of registered Texas voters, ahead of the comparable 2022 midterm rate but slightly behind 2018's 24.3%.

Given how close those identifiable R/D pools are, Texas early voting is looking considerably more competitive than a normal recent Texas statewide election at this stage.

Maine confuses me so much. Trump is like 20+ points under water there and the polls have been close - though like Trump in the national polling in 2024, has Jackson up by a small amount in most polls

No, I mean betting

You’re calling people “retards” for only giving him a 35% chance. That feels like you’re pretty damn sure Paxton is gonna win.

That’s basically the exact odds he has on every popular prediction market

$1000 bet pays ~$2800. Somewhere between +170 and +180 odds

If I’m positive of a victory AND they’re giving me odds that juicy, that’s a no brainer decision

So why haven’t you bet on him?

The Texas electorate probably needs to be R+10 or higher by the end of election day for Paxton to win given the ticket splitting that is likely to occur.
