re: Texas governor vote totals don’t make sense.

Not exactly different from the rest of the state. I'd also guess Montgomery country (Woodlands) is probably one of the large white counties in the entire state. Not that many Hispanics there so the Latino shift in Texas wouldn't have impacted them as much but they still saw a 21 point swing.
In a state controlled by Republicans
and the conspiracy theorists are convinced that somehow a bunch of Mexicans and Californians snuck through, registered to vote, and stole the state
Yet those Californians and Mexicans decided to let Judge Keogh stay

I never said it was stolen. Not once on here.
I said it doesn't make sense.
Paxton...ok
Abbott...WTF?
How do you (Abbott) have more votes than your last election, against a guy that had the whole Dem war chest behind him, and lose to a virtual unknown?
That means that Texas truly turned blue and we are fricked.

They don't even have Dominion to blame anymore since it was sold to a MAGA GOP donor.

My wife has been a teacher for 25 years in a great district. She knows tons of people in that industry and you have no idea how big of a deal the voucher program was with Abbott when he passed it. He said its his number 1 issue and nobody was allowed to vote on it. Its a huge slap in the face that only benefits the rich.
Also he and Patrick dying on the TCH and gummy hill, saying anyone with TCH will go to jail, even a tiny amount in a sleeping gummy. Its putting so many businesses out of business.
I'm telling you, unless you live here you don't understand but this has been coming for a while. Its been a bunch of smug old white dudes stuck in the 1950s. Patrick and Abbott were going for their 4th term!
This didn't surprise me one bit just from the republicans I know that voted against Abbott and Paxton.

Because Abbott really furked it up. Look at a controversial issue and see that he’s a sellout for the money.
Destroying Public schools alone was enough to get the boot.
Redistricting mid decade
was another blatant act that pissed people off.
Selling out for Data centers was strike 3.
Patrick was the big crazy voice going after huge criminal penalties for minimal amounts of THC gummies, etc. Abbott didn’t do anything, just let Patrick go off as if the people didn’t matter.
He went all in on the corruption and he got called out on it.
The people decided that he doesn’t actually look out for what happens to the people of Texas. So he found out about accountability.

The senate race is even worse. 2,156 of 2,177 counties shifted toward the Democrat vs. the 2024 presidential margin; only 21 shifted toward Republicans. It is virtually statistically impossible.
Statistically impossible based on what? Random selection, sure. Not when you factor in the horrid presidential performance and economy though
Of course MAGA is going to blame cheating instead of being introspective and improving moving forward. Maybe the republicans who controlled the White House, House of Representatives, and senate should’ve done something if there were still voting security issues during their 2 years in complete control?

And they couldn't ignore the fact that I was making this exact point for months
And now they just can't accept it; they're looking for another excuse
lex parsimoniae or occams razor ,, these folks are too stupid or brainwashed to accept the obvious truth
all of this can be true and there is still some very odd data here for us to process
what some of you doing your victory laps need to understand it is very likely you would have been right on a lot of things you were predicting but if something nefarious happened then it overcooked the results and made your predictions too right to be easily acceptable.
paxton was a bad candidate, Abbott this and Patrick that OK, Iran, ICE, gas prices, etc we get it
but the massive state wide sweep and the margins being reported require further scrutiny. There is really weird stuff in local results that dont make any sense.
what it looks like to me is if something happened it would be results manipulation of the counting apparatus itself that is too linear and wide spread to be organic.
Applying a pre-programmed algorithm into a state wide data set that converts votes from R to D without really knowing how red some of the areas really are could give super wonky results like we are seeing.
I dont think illegals voting had an extra effect, mail in ballots didnt have an extra effect, vote harvesting didnt have an extra effect any more than usual.
I think the voting systems, systems access and tabulation logs require a close review.
especially in the early voting results and system access logs.
FTR if this was a fraudulent election the Dems may have played a part but this way beyond their abilities.
This would potentially be a foreign influence operation made to divide us and pit us against each other.
We'll see what happens when the results are certified.

Didn't Abbott get more votes this time than against Beto?
Everyone knows the weight the Dems threw behind Beto.
I live in Louisiana but have a lot of dealings in Houston, Dallas, San Antonio and Midland.

It was predicted It can be tracked:
Over the past elections, Democrats were closing the margins; Republicans were getting more and more arrogant
And the statewide republicans were passing more and more laws that angered more independents AND Republicans
gummy ban, vouchers, data centers
It's really quite simple

I haven't looked into how the rural ultra red counties did, but it just seems too perfect on the surface.

T;rico broke all fundraising records; his small donors gave almost a hundred and forty million dollars to his campaign. That's not including PACs and big donations; that's just his campaign from small donors
Beto raised 80m against Cruz TOTAL
Your facts aren't facts

I made you a bar chart featuring actual vote totals since ole Sandra's isn't exactly *accurate*
Total votes cast since 2018 in order
111,434,215
105,508,455
113,009,730
So total votes cast this year are ~1.4% more than 2018 and ~5.3% more than 2022. None of this seems very difficult to believe

Interesting that Republicans got more votes in 22, but lost the HOR.

In the 2026 election, Greg Abbott received approximately 4,524,527 votes, while in the 2022 election, he secured about 4,437,099 votes. This indicates a slight increase in his vote total from 2022 to 2026.

oh votes
Here's the thing about votes: it doesn't matter if you had enough votes to win the previous election; you need enough to win the current election
And since you ignored my part about the funding,
obviously,
if the Democrats had far more money this time,
they were able to run a more sustained campaign,
which would end up in more votes
for them
and that was the verifiable trend
paxton and, Abbott, and Patrick chose to ignore that and tried to pass more unpopular agendas
That's what turned Texas blue
