Hays County, TX just south of Austin is poised to be the first in the U.S. to surpass its 2016 total

Interesting: Hays County, TX just south of Austin is poised to be the first in the U.S. to surpass its 2016 total votes cast. So far, 65,819 voters have cast ballots, vs. 72,164 in all of '16.

It's also the likeliest county in TX to flip from Trump '16 to Biden '20.

Texas Dems are really going hard at it.......

1. Trump won by about 600 votes, so that makes sense.

Stein got more than 1000.

2. San Marcos

Huge University there. Plus a large artistic retirement community (Wimberly) which just drew Paul Simon to buy property against. So, this is overdue.

3. What's even better is that county is in Texas 21st congressional district, where Wendy Davis is

Running against Incumbent repug Chip Roy, an understudy good ole boy of Ted Cruz. A real
Deplorable Trumpster. And she’s got a real chance. So donate if you can:

5. Only part of Hays is in 21.

It's actually in three districts, 21, 25, and 35. It's one of the counties that was gerrymandered to death to benefit Republicans.

But gravity and beer took over.

You must be very proud.

[LizBeth]
