49,699 Harris County Democrats Have Voted Early through First 8 days; 48,652 Harris County Republicans Have Voted Early So Far

Democrats in Harris County are Continuing to flex muscle as the 2018 Primary Early Voting Cycle Rolls on in the Lone Star State

ANALYSIS BY AUBREY R. TAYLOR

Harris County Democrats are placing a wakeup call to anyone who believed their sweeping victories back in the 2016 Presidential Election was some sort of fluke. In case you don’t remember, back on Tuesday, November 8, 2016, the Harris County Democratic Party won the straight-ticket voting battle over the Harris County Republican Party by roughly 70,367 straight-ticket votes. This gigantic lead in straight-ticket votes enabled the Harris County Democrats to sweep their Republican counterparts out of every countywide office on the ballot. Get this, 472,030 Harris County Democrats voted a straight-ticket, compared to only 401,663 Harris County Republicans. The voter turnout was 61.33% -- as only 1,338,898 of the 2,182,980 registered Harris County voters (at the time) went to the polls.

REPUBLICANS ARE STARTING TO FEEL THE HEAT

First Governor Greg Abbott, issued a plea for conservatives to rise to the occasion on Monday, February 26, 2018. Then, on yesterday, Tuesday, February 27, 2018, President Donald Trump sent out a tweet calling for conservatives to step up and show their support for several statewide Republicans in the Tuesday, March 6, 2018, Republican Party Primary in Texas.

GOVERNOR GREG ABBOTT



A MESSAGE FROM GOVERNOR ABBOTT'S CAMPAIGN

Here is an excerpt from an email that was sent out by Governor Greg Abbott’s campaign on Monday, February 26, 2018:

"I’ll be blunt: Democrat voter turnout is surging statewide during Early Voting.

Numbers for the first week of Early Voting should shock every conservative to their core. On the first day of Early Voting, more than half of Texans who voted early voted in the Democrat Primary. And you would have to go back to the mid-1990s to find the last time Democrats had such a swell in Early Voting numbers in a Primary during a gubernatorial election cycle.

In multiple counties across the state, Democrat turnout was up compared to 2014. Democrat turnout has even increased compared to 2016 when President Trump only carried our state by a single-digit margin. Meanwhile, in many major counties--even deep red Tarrant County--Republican turnout was DOWN!

If these trends continue, we could be in real trouble come Election Day.

In 2010, over 15,000 Democrats cast ballots on the first day of Early Voting in the top 15 counties with registered voters. That number has almost DOUBLED this year. If we let Democrats overwhelm us with turnout in the Primary, they’ll only grow more emboldened as we get closer to November and we could see our worst fears come true.
We’ve got to stop this—right now..."

PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP



PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP FEELS THE URGENCY

Here is a tweet sent out by President Donald Trump on Tuesday, February 27, 2018, imploring Texans to support a few of his friends in Texas:

“I want to encourage all of my many Texas friends to vote in the primary for Governor Greg Abbott, Senator Ted Cruz, Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, and Attorney General Ken Paxton…they are helping me to Make America Great Again! Vote early or on March 6th."

THE KEY 2016 DEMOCRATIC PARTY PRIMARY RACE WE'RE WATCHING IN FORT BEND COUNTY IS THE RACE FOR (HOUSE DISTRICT-27) 

FORT BEND DEMOCRATS 

ATTENTION DEMOCRATS: The key Ground-Game Magazine® Tuesday, March 1, 2016 “Democratic” Primary “Competitive” Race in Fort Bend County is the race for Texas State Representative (HD-27) between Ron Reynolds (far left), Steve Brown (second from left), Angelique Bartholomew (third from left), and Chris Henderson (fourth from left). So, please make an informed and empowered decision in this race.

***IMPORTANT (HD-27) INFORMATION

State Rep. Ron E. Reynolds (HD-27) is seeking re-election while fighting what he believes to be a miscarriage of justice he received in Montgomery County. Reynolds is seeking to hold on to his seat while appealing his recent conviction on five counts of Misdemeanor barratry. He is out of jail after posting a $25,000 bond to gain his freedom -- as he fights to clear his name. His appeal in the “MISDEMEANOR BARRATRY CASE” is being handled by his fellow State Representative Harold Dutton (HD -142) – a well-known Houston-area legislator and attorney. In a recent television interview Dutton seemed to allude to the fact that racism may have been a factor in the case against Reynolds – calling it “Conroe Justice.” It is also fair to note that, the misdemeanor conviction (alone) does not disqualify State Rep. Ron Reynolds from continuing to serve the people of Fort Bend County.
