The Laughing Stock of America is What Black Voters in Harris County Could Become if Something Doesn't Change Soon

Back during the 2018 Midterm Election, Black women were the driving force behind the success of the Harris County Democratic Party. However, back then, straight-ticket voting was allowed, and since then has been abolished in the state of Texas. So, what the women you see pictured above don't even realize is that all of them must campaign differently this time around if they expect to win on Tuesday, November 8, 2022, in Harris County, Texas. Remember when Eva Longoria said, “The women of color showed up in big ways…of course, you saw in Georgia what Black women have done, but Latina women were the real heroines here, beating men, in turn, out in every state and voting for Biden-Harris at an average close to 3 to 1.” Well, on Tuesday, November 8, 2022, in Harris County, it could very well be Latino voters driving the down-ballot countywide races instead of Black voters.

Eva Longoria knew exactly what she was saying when she down-played the impact of Black women on the 2020 Presidential Election in my opinion. Longoria’s discrediting of Black female voters was not a slip of the tongue in my opinion. She meant what she said, when she stated, “The women of color showed up in big ways…of course, you saw in Georgia what Black women have done, but Latina women were the real heroines here, beating men, in turn, out in every state and voting for Biden-Harris at an average close to 3 to 1.” Now, anyone with eyes should be able to see the writing on the wall as the balance of power in the 2022 Midterms could be shifting from Blacks being “THE MUST-HAVE-VOTE” for Democrats, to what some people are now labeling “THE JUGGERNAUT VOTE” when referring to the growing strength and mobilization of Hispanics in Harris County.

Over the course of the last 50 years, Blacks have thrown their weight around in Presidential Elections. However, during Midterm Elections, for the most part, Black voters are missing in action. Why is this important? Well, with the large number of Latino candidates running for judicial positions up and down the ballot in Harris County, many Black candidates could find themselves vulnerable and on the outside looking in, if past voting patterns hold true.

LATINOS VOTE SURNAME

Through my research, I've discovered that Latino voters are navigating their way down the ballot voting for candidates who have Hispanic surnames, in Harris County, Texas. And for the most part, Blacks are going down their ballot voting for "MOSTLY DEMOCRATS" or people with a (D) in front of their name. So, without straight-ticket voting, there's going to be a 35,000 to 50,000 vote difference between "BLACK JUDICIAL CANDIDATES" and "LATINO JUDICIAL CANDIDATES" on Tuesday, November 8, 2022, in down-ballot judicial races. That being said, with so many Latinos running as Conservatives, it's highly possible that we could see many African American candidates who are facing off against Latinos lose their judicial bids if the voting on Tuesday, November 8, 2022, is as close as we expect for it to be on Tuesday, November 8, 2022, in Harris County, Texas. And with Crime, Corruption, and Cronyism being major issues, African American females alone, aren't going to be enough to turn the tide this time around. Thus, Harris County, Texas should brace for some "PURPLE RAIN" or a "RED TIDAL WAVE" to hit Texas on Tuesday, November 8, 2022, in the Midterm Election.
