If you’ve been following the Rural Reporter, you know we’ve taken a special interest in the Texas Legislative races where Gov Abbott has been targeting rural Republicans for their vote on Vouchers. We’ve been following these races and talking to folks on the ground about what the expectations are for outcomes tonight.
Insight from Suzanne Bellsnyder: "The early voting turnout numbers for rural Texas are very high, according to consultant and media reports. There is neither a movement nor a statewide candidate responsible for driving turnout, including Abbott or Trump. Rural Texans usually doesn’t get this much attention during campaign time, we are usually taken for granted."
Thanks for sharing Deece. I’m wondering how turnout will look today, it feels slow in Dist 87 where I’m at, but also we are in the middle of a natural disaster.
