1. If we start to win TX consistently, the Rethugs have almost zero chance

Even if we lose FL, NC, ME-2, IA, MO, IN, OH, MI, WI, PA, AZ, and GA (and the odds of losing ALL of those whilst winning TX are 1000 to 1)

as we will already be at 270




In fact, add in just FL (with TX), and we can lose ALL of the above, PLUS NV, MN, NH, and even CO and still win

and still win

2. A number of states are steadily trending Dem, GOP must be planning something to stop it

With Texas, Arizona, Colorado, Georgia, Nevada, NC, Ohio and Virginia all steadily moving more mixed and less white, the GOP have to know that within the next 10 to 20 years, they will never ever win the Presidency again without resorting to out and out vote rigging.

My guess is, this is there last hurrah with Trump to go down the full scary route. We have to be ready to stop it.

7. Good, but not enough

Republican electoral fraud is institutionalized well enough to overcome a 1% margin of victory. If that's all Biden is ahead by in the Novermber election, Abbott will find a way to flip the numbers. If that lead widens to 6%, then it will mean Biden is ahead by such numbers that the Republican fraud machine would have to expose itself a bit too out in the open to successfully switch the result. In a state like TX, 6% is a LOT of voters. Abbott's thugs will do pretty much whatever he tells them to, but not to the point where they will be facing a Federal rap for it.
