I voted for Talarico but would be happy to support Crockett. The primary turnout numbers have been encouraging with far more democrats voting so far in the early vote. As of yesterday, the Democrats had far higher turnover than was normal in the primary.

Total (change from yesterday):
🟦 DEM: 754,765 (+116,683)
🟥 GOP: 642,681 (+99,738)
——
Dems: 120.7% of 2022 total
Reps: 62.7% of 2022 total

The people showing up so far in the GOP primary are older

Absolutely bonkers how ancient the early voting electorate is for the Texas Senate Republican primary.
41% are age 70 or older.
85% are age 50 or older.
