2% Counted in Texas == 950,000???

[Syrinx]

That can't be right. That would mean a turnout of 47 million Democrats.

But that's what MSNBC says.

[high density]

1. 900,000 votes = Early voting

This has been covered in other threads.

[Syrinx]

6. oh, okay

Thanks.

[backscatter712]

2. I believe it's 2% of todays votes + most or all of the early votes.

Looks like Clinton's got quite an uphill battle in Texas...

[scheming daemons]

3. This is all the early voting PLUS 2% of precincts for tonight....

....

[peoli]

4. 2% of PRECINCTS not VOTERS

[Olney Blue]

5. 47 brazillian democrats

[nomorewhopper]

7. early votes counted first. and 2% of "PRECINCTS" reported not "VOTES" counted

:D

they expect 3 mil ppl to vote for a democrat in the texas primary

incredible!

[Orangepeel]

8. 2% of precincts. Early votes count as one precinct.

Even though there were a LOT of early votes.

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

9. Percentages are % of precincts, not votes.

[Coexist]

10. 2% of precincts reporting, not 2% of the vote

I have read that Early Voting = One precinct

[LisaL]

11. Yea, I know.

Texas ain't that big a state.

[RB TexLa]

12. 47M divided by 5 votes each is only 9.4 million turnout

[krawhitham]

13. 2% Counted in Texas == 950,000???

You heard what Bill said, he told them to vote early and vote often

[silent]

15. Strange....

..or at least to me... I though hillary would take the early vote...

[Ilsa]
