doing math on voter turnout is making me twitch with fervent hopeless hope bc like
there are now 2.7 million registered voters in harris county, which had a turnout of 66% and went to biden by 56% in 2020
if kamala matches those percentages now, that will account for just shy of a million votes -- more than 300k raw votes more than in 2020
...when trump won texas by around 600k votes
and that's matching those figures -- if turnout is higher, if her margin is higher, that eats sharply away at that margin even more
i'm just... there's a reason she came to houston less than ten days before election day and it wasn't to see the astros
#the other major cities have also seen huge increases in voter registration and also trend as blue or bluer in general#high turnout in texas cities could lead to a massive upset#it would take 75% turnout and 60% democrat for harris county to break that 600k margin#but that's very much pie-in-the-sky even more than anything else#except as a demonstration of how absolutely fucking *massive* harris county is - 3rd largest in the country#there are more registered voters in harris county alone than the total population of fifteen states#increasing voter turnout in harris county could make a huge difference#(80% turnout at the same 56% blue would completely wipe out that 600k margin alone.)#so come on come on#get out the vote
