Ive closely been watching the primary election early voter turnout numbers in both the Republican and Democratic primaries. While we wont have a good feel of how Democrats did in this primary election, its important to remember that turnout in primary elections is not an indicator of turnout in general elections.
Using primary election turnout as an indicator of general election turnout is grounded in the understanding that different dynamics are at play in these two types of elections. Factors such as the appeal of the general election candidates to a broader electorate, the national political environment, and specific issues of concern to voters at the time of the general election can significantly influence turnout.
That being said, we need to discuss the importance of precinct chairs if Texas wants to flip and become a blue state.
For example, one Texas County in 2018 did an experiment on which voters were contacted and which werent.
70% of voters contacted by their precinct chair turned out to vote.
In precincts where there was no chair, and voters werent contacted, only 38% of voters showed up to vote.
