I've seen enough: James Talarico (D) wins the #TXSEN Dem primary.

1. the tx court and attorney general are meddling, may be too early to call nt

[SSJVegeta]

3. It isnt. The votes in question wont make a difference at this point.

Enough votes cast up to 7pm (and early votes) have been counted and crockett fell short of what she needed while Talarico is beating all his benchmarks in every county.

7. In Dallas County only early votes have been counted

And very few election day votes have been counted statewide. Velshi said it is in the low,single,digits and that the,votes,counted,so far are about 40% of the total vote.

[SSJVegeta]

8. Still. Whats left isnt enough to make her the winner.

12. You would be right if election day votes are in the,same proportions as early votes

But if the election day votes,are different then it may be too early to tell with only 40% of the total vote,counted so far

[SSJVegeta]

17. 60% of the vote has been counted.

Most of the uncounted votes are areas that are heavily pro talarico

15. Pretty easy to understand

I don't know why so many refuse to accept it.

[SSJVegeta]

18. It wont be long till the networks call it too

9. Oh yay, more religion in politics

Yes, that was sarcasm.

[SSJVegeta]

20. Talarico stands for getting rid of religion in politics, actually

21. No offense but I don't trust religious leaders any further than I can spit

And with the wind I can hock one up pretty far...

22. Not a fan of Senator Warnock or MLK, then?

How did you feel about Jesse Jackson?


Thoughts on Al Sharpton?

10. We shall see. If he is wrong, he is going to take the reputational hit I think he might be due for..

Being first is not always a positive given it ignores the entire election process and fails to let it play out--not to mention it can make for a jackass assessment if wrong.

No dog in "this fight." I like both candidates although I understand the perception of who might have the easiest path.

I am just over the armchair pollsters who predict despite there being ongoing issues with counting the vote--including a state supreme court stay in Dallas County. Prior elections such predictions while the counting was ongoing made far more sense. Now, I'd say Wasserman may need to learn to "take a beat."

14. Dallas was all she had going for her really. Most of the votes left to count are not in areas that favor her

And Talarico is ahead by 5 despite her best county coming out in full force.

11. MSNOW is not calling it. They are reporting confusion in Dallas

(Likely to go for Crockett) and Republican interference in allowing votes to be counted.

[hlthe2b]

16. Yes. And MSNOW is using the AP as their "call"

[spooky3]

13. NYTimes also has not called this race. Says Talarico did better with

Early voters, but same day voting is largely uncounted.

23. He is ahead by 7.3% with 79% of the vote cast.

The same day vote that has been reported he is ahead significantly. His vote lead is increasing the more those same day votes are counted.

19. Magats pulled a Jeb Bush 2.0

Stopped counting the votes in Dallas.

You know what's going to happen now. Crockett voters who didn't get to vote will be pissed for the general election.

Magats are crooked and shrewd. Dallas used to allow people to vote in any precinct but for this election one had to vote only in his/her precinct. Thousands of voters were turned away from the polls, Dallas had 2 1/2 hour long lines to vote and then after waiting in line they were not allowed to vote, they will be pissed in November.

Talarico should get to a microphone now and demand that all the voters be allowed to vote.
