Texas voter turnout down in 2024 from 2020

[banddag]

I am a poll worker.  Our precint turnout was way lower than normal.  We normally get slammed at 6:30-7:30 am, 12-1 and  530-700 pm but very little to moderate lines.   My counties overall votes were also down significantly in 2024 from 2020.

https://www.texastribune.org/2024/11/06/texas-voter-turnout-election-2024-registration/


More Texans registered to vote in the 2024 November elections than ever before, but turnout lagged behind the most recent presidential race, especially in the state’s most populous urban counties that Democrats hoped to dominate by centering issues such as abortion and the state of democracy.

A record 18.6 million Texans were registered to vote in the election, according to state data. About 11.3 million people, or 61% of registered voters, cast ballots in the general election, according to preliminary, unofficial data.

While the raw number of Texans who voted this year rivals 2020’s total, it marks a nearly 6 percentage-point drop in turnout compared to four years ago.

So Texas Republicans are in on the steal?

We know Republicans voted in record on 2020

We also know Ds had record numbers of mail in ballots, and illegal voting. To what extent we don’t know for sure because no judges had the intestinal fortitude to look.

That the Ds put more lawyers up to hide the facts screams corruption. If they truly won with legitimate ballots, they would have been transparent, sent in cameras and let the Rs have a Geraldo moment.

1. Trump hired 2 private firms to find voter fraud. Neither could find any.

2. Conservative group True The Vote spent millions and 3 years to find fraud. Could not find any.

3. Conservtaive prodiucer of 2000 Mules recently distanced themselves from the movie saying it was full of lies and mistruths.

4. Guillianis owns lawyers on the stand  admitted they selectively edited the video to make it appear the 2 Georgia poll workers were up to no good.

Okay, I’m liking your posts. Welcome aboard, @Benjamin.

Out of the 64 voter fraud cases presented by the Trump team, only 1 (one)was was deamed to have merit and it was based on a minor techioality. Many of the judges were trump appointees. The other 63 were thrown out.

Great points!

We know 2020 was stolen. However, as a result of that and the non stop persecution of Trump and his allies Trump is much better prepared to get things done than he was in 2020. I think he is going to be careful who he surrounds himself with. I am especially intrigued to see who the AG will be.

I actually think our left wing here was demoralized being at ground Zero of the invasion, and was having problems defending it or their party. 
I understand there was a border county that is 97% hispanic, and that county went for Trump.  And that was the first time the County went GOP since 1896.

[cato potatoe]

Keep in mind there are about 10 million votes left to count in the west, and a couple of million scattered elsewhere.  Wild guess: 77 million Trump, 75 million Harris

2020:  Texas Trump+Biden vote = 11.15 million

2024:  Texas Trump+Harris vote = 11.18 million


Will there ever be a time where something you post here is true, @banddag ?

4. Guillianis owns lawyers on the stand  admitted they selectively edited the video to make it appear the 2 Georgia poll workers were up to no good.

The Georgia poll workers counted ballots with no GOP observers present.  That is a violation of State law.  They also fed stacks of ballots through counting machines numerous times (also on video) which is a violation of State law.  They left ballot storage areas unlocked, in violation of State law.  And they continued to accept ballots four days after election day (in violation of State law) even though Fulton and Dekalb counties had already announced that counting had been completed.  All of this is documented on this forum.  Yet you still want to pretend everything was on the up-and-up?  Yeah, right.

Never mind the software changes that were made to the election software less than four weeks before election day - changes that were never certified (in violation of State law).  Or that Fulton County ordered more absentee ballots from the printing vendor eight days before election day.  Or that signatures were never checked on absentee ballots (in violation of State law).  Or that extra ballot collection boxes were distributed throughout Fulton, Dekalb, Cobb, Gwinnett, and Clayton counties, also in violation of State law.  Or that a review of official ballot photocopies showed duplicate ballots counted more than once (in violation of State law).  Or that live vote totals showed fractional votes for each candidate (e.g. 274,522.3547 votes).  Or that in the middle of the tabulation, Trump's vote total actually went down.

The same deep state , and Pravda  ,that  lied to us for years about Russia and hunter’s laptop assure us that there was no election fraud. So case closed…

They’ll even throw in 51 intelligence officials that will swear to it.

Not sure where you got your numbers but these are from the Texas Secretary of State Jane Nelson official state of Texas website. Numerous states are saying they had less turnout than 2020

https://www.sos.state.tx.us/elections/historical/70-92.shtml

2020  11,315,056

2024   Trump 6,375,338
          Harris  4,806, 390
2024      11,181.760

Last I remember from my 1st grade math classes,  11, 181 is less than 11,315

@Hoodat

No, only one of your numbers came from the Texas Secretary of State's official State of Texas website.  The other one you got by adding up Trump and Harris voters from somewhere else.  You can't even tell the truth about something as simple as that.

2020  11,315,056

2024   Trump 6,375,338
          Harris  4,806, 390
2024      11,181.76

Did you notice how your 2024 number matches mine? :  2024:  Texas Trump+Harris vote = 11.18 million

Go figure.  Our numbers agree when it comes to Trump and Harris voters.  Yet your 2020 number from the Texas Secretary of State's office includes the addition of third party candidates.  When those third party candidates are excluded, that leaves 11.15 million Trump and Biden voters combined.  Which any math teacher can confirm is less than 11.18.

The 2024 numbers posted so far show that Trump+Harris received 98.7% of the Texas vote.  That means somewhere between 1.1 and 1.5 % of Texas voters voted for someone else.  Doing some loose math here,

11,181K / 0.987 = 11,328K

Last time I checked, 11,328K is greater than 11,315K.

Be sure to pass this on to the DU poster that gave you these numbers.  Maybe next time you will make an attempt to think for yourself and do your own research instead of blindly passing on false information that was handed to you, @banddag

[banddag]

LOL, is that the best you have? I proved your comment was wrong.

BTW the 2024 numbers are from the Texas board of elections as of this morning. Both of my numbers, 2020 and 2024 came from official state of Texas websites.

But this is what you posted. 

2020:  Texas Trump+Biden vote = 11.15 million

2024:  Texas Trump+Harris vote = 11.18 million

So, why did YOU NOT include the "someone else voters" in your 2020 figures?  Hmmmm??

YOU said:   The other one you got by adding up Trump and Harris voters from somewhere else.

HMMM my 2024 figure matches yours.

You are such an idiot.

[Hoodat]

@Hoodat

You did no such thing.

BTW the 2024 numbers are from the Texas board of elections as of this morning.

The link you provided does not show November 2024 numbers.  The fact that you are now doubling down on a bogus number proves not only that you are dishonest, but also incapable of thinking.  Again, your post:

2020  11,315,056

2024   Trump 6,375,338
          Harris  4,806, 390
2024      11,181.76

Take a good look at what you posted.  Your 2024 number showed Harris votes and Trump votes only.  Then provided a sum of those two totals, except that the number was in 'thousands of votes' and not single votes.  In other words, your numbers came from somewhere else.  Yet here you are flat out lying, saying it came from your link.  Do you know what that makes you?  A liar.  And the fact that you are doing it twice after being exposed makes you a stupid liar.

BTW the 2024 numbers are from the Texas board of elections as of this morning.

Let's see a link to that, @banddag .  I want to see exactly where you got your 2024 numbers.  Because it damn sure didn't come from the link you provided.  And when you do find that link, be sure to add in the Stein/Oliver/Kennedy votes to your total so that we can compare to the 2020 number you provided that did include those 3rd party votes.

[Hoodat]

So, why did YOU NOT include the "someone else voters" in your 2020 figures?  Hmmmm??

Because I didn't include them in my 2024 number (nor did you).  You are now being intentionally obtuse.

So let's compare again.  You pick either R/D vote totals or All vote totals.  You decide which numbers you wish to use.  Then do the comparison.  And when you do, you will find that 2024 totals are higher than 2020 either way.  And deep down you know that.  Which is why you purposely chose to exclude them from your 2024 number while including them in your 2020 number, in order to make it look like your 'facts' [sic] lined up with your emotions.  And when exposed to the truth, you choose to double down on the lie instead.
