7. It could have happened if more of our voters turned out

We also have a problem with folks only voting the top line of the ballot.

There were 11 State House seats that were flippable but turnout was not high enough in those districts. Some of those were close, but we couldn't flip them. Five of them were in Tarrant County.

I will forever be furious with every voter who did not turn up & those who didn't vote the down ballot.

There were also Republicans who did not vote for TFG then voted the R candidates on the downballot.

Even so, Biden carried Tarrant County and some of our State House candidates carried the parts of their districts in Tarrant County.
