🚨德克萨斯州两个闻起来不对劲的数字:
吉娜·希诺霍萨刚刚获得了523万张州长选票。这比现代德克萨斯州历史上任何一位州长候选人都多——高于阿博特2018年的466万峰值,比贝托2022年多出168万。
詹姆斯·塔拉里科获得了545万张参议院选票。这仅比特朗普2024年在德克萨斯州的总统总票数少约94万……还是在中期选举中。
共和党原始选票保持平稳。民主党选票爆炸式增长。中期选举投票率不知怎的产生了总统级别的民主党数字。
完全正常。这里没什么可看的。
🚨Two numbers from Texas that don’t pass the smell test:
Gina Hinojosa just got 5.23 million votes for governor. That’s more than any gubernatorial candidate in modern Texas history — higher than Abbott’s 4.66M peak in 2018 and 1.68M more than Beto got in 2022.
James Talarico got 5.45 million for Senate. That’s only about 940k short of Trump’s entire 2024 presidential total in Texas… in a midterm.
Republican raw votes stayed flat. Democratic votes exploded. Midterm turnout somehow produced presidential-level Democratic numbers.
Totally normal. Nothing to see here. @montoyalouis1
