Nobody's asking the right question: who are these people? I pulled the voter file. Here's what I found Levi Asher @Levi_Asher_•6h ... 2/ I matched every early voter in Harris County against their history in the last 3 Democratic primaries. 43.6% have ZERO or minimal primary history. 17,204 voters. Nearly half the electorate. People campaigns weren't targeting.
Levi Asher @Levi_Asher_•6h... 3/ So l built a live dashboard to answer the obvious question: who the hell are they? More Hispanic → Dramatically younger → Nearly 10,000 have NEVER voted in a Dem primary → They account for the ENTIRE gap between 2026 and prior cycles Levi Asher @Levi_Asher_•6h g ... 4/ This isn't the same voters showing up early. This is a fundamentally different electorate walking through the door.
Early voter turnout in the Texas Democratic primary has been heavy—and a significant portion appear to have minimal or no history of voting in primaries in the past:

this proved so popular that it is now the only business model in the US.
It’s very pleasant. China with some of the rough edges smoothed off.

Support So we've been using an Al agent since November to answer leadership questions about metrics. It seemed amazing at first fast answers, detailed explanations, everyone loved it. I just found out it's been hallucinating numbers this entire time. Our VP of sales made territory decisions based on data that didn't exist. Our CFO showed the board a deck with fake insights. The Al was just inventing plausible sounding percentages. I only caught it by accident when someone asked me to double check something. I started digging, and holy shit, it's bad.
lol this is gonna burst so fucking hard

We didn’t have one then it was before ring cameras.
