Texas holds first 2018 primary amid surge of Democratic voters

The midterm election season officially kicks off on Tuesday, when Texas voters head to the polls for the nation’s first primary of 2018.
With early voting already suggesting a record turnout for Democrats, and widespread speculation about what effect an endorsement by President Trump will have on Republican candidates, the Texas primaries are being looked at as both a bellwether for the rest of the nation - and a sign the red state could be turning purple more quickly than expected.
“What these primaries really boil down to is one issue: Trump versus anti-Trump,” Cal Jillson, a political science professor at Southern Methodist University, told Fox News. “There is relatively little talk about the issues for either party. It’s a race to the margins. Democrats are all against the president, while with Republicans it’s about staying close to Trump, and whether that hurts or helps them.”

Been hurling chunks this morning and feeling a bit awful, but nothing is going to keep me from the polls... still going to do my civic duty :love:
I'm glad to hear there is higher turnout in some places for a primary... these often get ignored until we're stuck with awful choices... aka 2016 election teas...

Of course this isn't a presidential primary, but obviously whichever way the pendulum swings in Congress, it's going to be a major deal breaker/deal maker for the next 2 years...
