Take a look at the early voting numbers in TX. We all know that much more people than normal are coming out to vote. And we know that so far the Democrats have been the overwhelming majority in this primary season. But take a look at the early, yes I said early voting results for Texans compared to previous years (courtesy of Burkablog) .

GOP early voting has doubled in El Paso County this year; tripled in Bexar, Tarrant, Dallas, Travis, and Collin counties, and shot up sevenfold (!) in Harris County. Not bad -- until you see the Democrats' numbers.

That's AMAZING!!!!!!!

Don't publicize it too much, though, b/c I don't want the elephants mobilizing.

O_O

Those numbers are just... wow. And I can't help but think: was there a baby boom 18 years ago or something? Particularly among the Democrats? Which goes to show, really, that the red state-blue state thing is nonsense.

This is crazy! It would be nice of we had this level of participation all the time!
