The final vote total for Texas could be close to 12 million votes

Michael Li used to have the best election law/redistricting blog in Texas but was hired by the Bennan Center. Michael makes the case for 12 million possible votes in Texas which means that no one has any idea what is going to happen

the Republican voters were in Texas this year. Were they all really ready to come out and strike a blow against us Devil-horned and cloven-hoofed “Libruls” or did they decide that they wouldn’t have to work that hard this go-round?

I think it’s likely that the long-foreseen but never actualized Blue Wave may finally have happened, but we won’t know until the Lone Star State’s votes are counted.
