Travis County is 100% going out with a bang as early vote ends today. Every hour except maybe 1 has been a record number of votes for the year.

some 22-year-old field organizer in Chicago has robert prevost marked as “not home” in MiniVAN and I think that’s beautiful
Pope Leo XIV has become the first-ever Pope to vote in a U.S. election. (via AP) He submitted a Chicago mail-in ballot for the 2026 midterms.

If that thing dies, I am comfortable changing my default search engine back to Google from Duck Duck Go. Fuck AI.
Rumors say Google is finally killing that terribly dumb AI Overview model at the top of search results. Yeah, that box hurt their ad click rates and burned through a massive amount of compute. Fixing their compute shortage is probably the biggest reason behind this move.

Suddenly imagining a Texas where the only statewide GOP electeds are Ted Cruz, two members of the railroad commission, and the out of cycle judges.
Replying to @birenbomb
Cruz says polls do skew left, but "having run a lot of campaigns...these data are not fake. The Democrats are massively out-turning out the Republicans. We gotta fix that. And I don't want to wake up in a world where Texas is all blue." "I'm pleading with you, show up and vote"

Ted Cruz on his podcast today: "Texas is excruciatingly close. Understand, we could lose Texas. Let me repeat that: we could lose Texas. And by the way, not just the Senate race. We could lose every single statewide race in Texas. That's how close these numbers are." #TXSEN

This Halloween, do not be tricked by the radical left’s agenda. Protect Texas values and vote Republican up and down the ballot. 🎃🇺🇸 Keep Texas red!

Give them nothing. Take from them everything.
Senator Ted Cruz says could lose every statewide race in Texas.

Here's a useful "Did Republicans do a Dummy-mander?" cheat sheet for next Tuesday. If Democrats win any of these seats: -NC-03 -FL-12 -FL-16 -FL-26 -TN-05 AND TN-09 then you can call it a dummymander. Otherwise, Republicans will still have done themselves essentially no harm.
I warned that “gerrymandering didn’t work” would be one of the post-election takes if the GOP lost — but they are clearly going to win seats bc they gerrymandered. No gerrymander and Dems probably net House seats in Texas. Now, they could elect a Senator, get 50% of the statewide vote, take back the RGV… and on net lose one seat, giving Rs a 26-12 advantage in the delegation.

Day 11. Turnout high across the board but not saving the rurals at all. Day 10 was...younger and very +Hispanic, on curve. I'll skip tomorrow night and post final numbers + a gov prediction + some other predictions this weekend. Senate is p much locked Likely D.
Day 10: Turnout up across the board, as expected. Non-Hockley rurals still not overperforming (reluctantly handing it to Trump's rally). Today and the next two days should be younger and +Hispanic; if that's the case this remains a likely Talarico, tossup Hinajosa electorate.

5 days until the county judge, county clerk, tax assessor and more flips dem. Thanks for visiting, Dan.
A huge crowd of 400 turned out tonight in Williamson County at the Republican Club of Sun City. They are always a fun crowd and they are dedicated to keeping Texas red.
