Estimated crowd of 18-19.000 inside the Toyota Center and about 3,000 outside.

"Trump told the crowd, which Houston Police Chief Art Acevedo said consisted of 18,000 to 19,000 people, with another 3,000 watching outside, that his administration is "putting America first, it hasn't happened in a lot of decades.""

Slightly short of the 100,000 prediction by some.

sad.
Um, Republicans had more voter turnout yesterday then Democrats. Just to let ya know - I think you know what that means? Or not.



Hour long waits for early voting in the "RED" parts of Austin. Similar turnout reported in Houston. Dallas County has already surpassed the 2014 midterm turnout in ONE DAY.

And they're not waiting to vote for Lyin' Ted!

GO BETO!

Glad Twitler rented the "biggest stadium in Texas" for his KKKruz Rally tonight.

ESD, Trump. ESD! Originally Posted by Yssup Rider

Um. I don't have any idea what conclusions anyone can draw from one day of voting. I am a registered Republican. I voted today for Beto O'Rourke.

First Early Voting Numbers Are Big, But Inconclusive

"Historically, the relationship between early voting in a state and the final voting totals there has been weak, and attempts to make inferences from early voting data have made fools of otherwise smart people."

I'm fairly sure a great number voting for either candidate went to their early voting locations and saw long lines, defeating the purpose of early voting, and decided to try again later.

In Travis County Texas, 3 times as many people voted on the first day of Early Voting compared to 2014. In Williamson County where I live, I talked to one of the clerks at my voting location and she said turnout yesterday set a record, and my district cast more votes than any other in the county. The line today was constantly long while I was there.

Again -- impossible to draw any conclusions other than voters seem motivated to get out there.

I'm glad to see that people are getting out there and voting. Texas usually lags when it comes to voter turnout -- 55% in 2016 vs. 61% average. VOTE!!!

Just hope the people, for both parties, who chose not to stand in line yesterday, will try again and submitt their vote.

I think the best way to end the partisan nonsense is to have more and more citizens participate in elections.

Elected officials are less likely to cater to lobbyists and special interests groups if they fear their constituents will remove them if their interests are not served.
Like anybody with common sense has --the conclusion I came to is-- there is NOT going to be a blue wave. No offense or anything it just struck me as blantly obvious. I swear - common sense has left America. Thank God for Trump.

According to your unbiased commonsense view, do you think the United States House of Representatives will have a Democrat as speaker after the 2018 election?

How are they reporting voter's party affiliation when they don't ask it at the polling places in Texas, Ellen? There is no such thing in Texas as official party registration other than primary turnout.

Have you seen anything from the TEC on that, Ellen?

Surely you don't believe that BS, do you, Ellen?

Under other circumstances, you might even call such a report FAKE NEWS, right?

LOL!
