    Political scientists estimate there are about 8 million consistently-Democratic voters in Texas and 6 million consistently-Republican voters. Out of a population of 30 million where everyone else flip flops and/or doesn’t vote.

    The only reason the Republicans ever win in Texas is due to voter suppression/gerrymandering.

    This is consistent with national estimates that there are roughly 1.5x as many Democrats as Republicans in the USA.

    The only reason the Republicans ever win anywhere is due to voter suppression/gerrymandering.
