PSA: Dem pickups needed to control TX legislature

[ColinC]

3 for the Senate and 10 for the House.

1. Is that manageable/possible?

[ColinC]

2. Yes. Will it happen?

If we have a stronger ground game this year than the GOP, definitely. It's all about GOTV.

3. Beto had some long coattails in his previous election run

Twelve seats flipped from R to D for the legislature.

So it's doable, numbers-wise, but whether that many seats are flippable in a highly-gerrymandered legislature is another question entirely.

4. The gerrymandering

Is the main concern

[ColinC]

5. Yeah I'm kinda wondering this too

But if he has a solid enough ground game, anything is possible.
