76% of Registered voters didn't vote in 2014. With Beto on the ballot the
turnout maybe higher but the results won't change as far as who wins. Texas
isn't going to elect democrats to statewide offices yet.

2014 Governor's race, red=GOP - Blue=DEM

33.7% (of registered voters)

Please note that Republican, Governor, Greg Abbott is now` leading over Democrat, Lupe Valdez by 19.3% according to Real Clear Politics poll average. Abbott will win Texas with at least a 22% victory margin against Valdez, an extreme nutcase and weak candidate.

Democrat, Beto O’Rourke will fair better losing to Republican, Ted Cruz by a 15% pint margin of victory for Cruz!!! Bottom line, Game over for Democrats in Texas!!!

With less than 40% turnout, risks getting a statewide D sooner than most admit... low turnout and apathy are going to let a motivated D minority sneek out a win a lot sooner than folks realize....

People down in TX better wake up and start showing up to vote... or they are going wake up with D statewide win a lot sooner than they think
