Yup, Paxton got almost the exact same vote count as Primary
Cornyn’s vote count went down from 900K to 500K.
Talarico got 1.2M voters in the primary and Crockett over 1M.
Menwhile, in 2016, both Cruz and O’Rourke got over 4M votes in the general election.
This is going to be one massive money sink of an election this year.
Complete thread:
- Cornyn vs Paxton. Which one is Talarico most likely to beat?
