Fellow Clinton supporters... |
|
Help me figure out what the heck is up in TX right now....Is she behind this much because of the particular counties reporting?

1. CNN is only reporting 1%. |
|
Hopefully it will change as more counties report.

11. 1% reporting does not mean 1% of the votes are in, almost one million votes already |

3. According to BTD on TalkLeft, "looking at the county results, all the Texas vote is out of Houston, |

Dallas and Austin." Those are areas that Obama was expected to do very well in.

5. I am guessing those are some early-voting totals from the east |

7. basically the opposite of MO and CA |
|
In those two states the Clinton-leaning areas reported first; in TX the Obama-leaning areas are reporting first. This one could be another nail-biter, to say nothing of the caucus...

12. These are early voting totals |
|
from a cross-section of counties. The bad news (for Clinton) is that it looks like the urban areas had waaaay more early voters - and they went 2 to 1 for Obama. The rural counties - all across the state - appear to have gone 2 to 1 for Hillary in early voting. But the total numbers are waaay lower.
That's just how it looks. Maybe the rural folks all waited to vote today. :shrug:
