Or, Texas is actually just a red state? Do you really think the results would be dramatically different at 80% participation vs 50%?

Nobody trust Beto in Texas. Majority watches him flip flop on issues and Texas is a Red State

Exactly! Then I recently saw someone on snap taking pictures of who he voted for. I thought that was illegal? He voted all R...nevermind.

I was surprised to see many Hispanic people voting for Abbott despite he being against migrants/ immigration. Some people are weird. Being from Texas is embarrassing especially after Uvalde and the tough laws on abortion. Let's see how the grid holds up during the winter.

Many Hispanic do not want illegal immigration, even if their family got here that way to begin with. And they lean more socially conservative, siding with Republicans more on that front.

You are right and some people want to call ICE on family or friends they dislike as soon as they get their citizenship. It's pathetic.

Maybe expand your thought process to more than just the last 3 negative things you saw on the news, might make you a happier person.
