I think the interesting thing is that Taylor held that much of an early vote edge when the early vote turnout was already higher in the traditional MAGA strongholds. IE precincts in Southlake with early vote drop already had much higher percent turnout than other areas https://results.enr.clarityelections.com/TX/Tarrant/125768/web.345435/#/turnout I think Bag of Ass is cooked...
Unfortunately, so many people as adults recommit the same sins visited on them as children. Alcoholism, drug use, abuse, sexual abuse....it's a wretched cycle for some families.
I think the other important thing to remember is the seat is back up in November (same two candidates) so this is more symbolic...but would be a pretty nice symbol considering where it is.
I would caution on reading too much into it. The Patriot Mobile thing is a motivating local albatross as they have been a driving force in much of the local school board fuckery in places like Keller, Grapevine, Southlake etc and the backlash, particularly in the FW areas of Keller ISD (which is 3 of the 4 HSs in the district) has been intense. I’m sure Bag of Ass will still carry Keller proper where I am and of course Southlake but even in places like those she will be squeezed. The places west of here in the district are out for blood.
Also the weather last week fucked up the last 3-4 days of early voting around here so I imagine that is also playing some into the heavy election day turnout (though thus race was already tuned up for massive turnout for this kind of election). Though where I went in Keller around 11am this morning I was the only one there until right as I left when two other folks came in.
Mine expired next May. I renewed by mail. Sent off on 12/15 per tracking passport admin received on 12/18. New passport received 12/26. Edit: Should note this was regular service…not expedited.
It was both awesome and sad to see Michael J Fox. Awesome he was able to be involved, sad that he's at a point with it where I had to work hard to understand what all he was saying. Fuck Parkinson's.
