Graphs showing voting trends in Denton county primaries

Good news: TexasVAN is now showing who voted in the current primaries, not those who voted last November. After block walking in my precinct I adopted a second one and I am almost done. I poll greeted on Saturday and voted on Sunday.
Plus Democrats have outvoted republicans for two days in a row!

Beto comes to Denton quite regularly so we are spoiled! Once primaries are over you should come north for a visit!

Please keep giving Talarico free advertising time!

Thank you for giving Talarico more free advertisement! @jamestalarico.bsky.social

First they should reset MiniVan. We still have the Voted icon for people who voted in November. This is NOT helpful! I complained with the TDP leadership but they have not fixed the issue yet!

I respect your work so much! One misspelling is not the end of the world!

Republicans are scared we are going to flip Texas!

Yes it is tough. But we cannot give up. We keep showing up and work hard.

Great interview! Keep working hard and let’s flip Texas together!

Talarico did release his report recently. My understanding is that they have to release a report 12 days before the election. Why don’t you support transparency from candidates? FEC reports must be complete if the candidates don’t want to risk fines.

Sorry to be the grammar police but as a non-native speaker I am kind of obsessed with spelling!

I am talking about the FEC database. Actually when I searched the FEC database for Crockett’s senate race the data ends with the end of 2025. The campaign has not filed for the last two months. It is mandatory for campaigns to release their financial statements.

All your endorsement graphics have endorsement misspelled!

Talarico is running a grassroots campaign in Texas. He has field organizers, has recruited volunteers and has been holding block walks for months. He has strong fundraising numbers. He engages with votes and supporters. Crockett’s campaign is far behind. And why didn’t she release her FEC reports?

I went to three events with Talarico and he does speak about his faith. But more as something that inspires and sustains him. He definitely is for separation of church and state, he was against the 10 commandments in schools, he talks against Christian Nationalism. I am an atheist and I support him.

Thank you for saying that.

Some photos I took today at the memorial for the killing of the art exhibit Ni de aquí ne de allá by artist Victor Marka27 Quiñones. The event was organized by the art students in front of the CVAD where the exhibit was supposed to run until May. Read my other posts for the story behind this.

Superlativa!

If you live in Denton plan to attend this memorial tomorrow morning in the CVAD courtyard on the University of North Texas campus.

Same. We visited those areas twice. Beautiful, remote and extremely safe. There is no need for a wall.

She is adorable!

Absolutely. I visited the Big Bend National park twice. That area is beautiful and remote. And absolutely safe.

And Francesca wins another gold medal!
