This was a MAJOR problem in 2012 in Florida (I worked voter protection). As a result there were thousands of provisional ballots in Hillsborough County.
I doubt Texas has a similar remedy.

.@JasmineForUS campaign says they’re worried about the number of people being turned away in Dallas Co (her home base) for not going to their correct voting precinct (changed this year bc Republicans didn’t want countywide voting centers). They say they’re trying to get the word
English
If this is true it is an outrage.
And if Talarico's margin is a result of low turnout in those counties there is going to be significant anger.
André Treiber @ DNC NOLA@andrebttx
Per the Texas Democratic Party, nearly a third of Williamson and Dallas County voters are being turned away when they try to vote due to confusion over polling locations, caused by Republicans opting not to hold countywide unified Joint Primaries.

JUST IN: White House officials clarify Operation Epic Fury isn't a war, but a special "combat operation"

@NickyScatz @Kalshi Think the YouGov (A) poll showing him way up has had an effect. I don’t trust the polling myself given difficulties of polling any TX primary, think this race can go either way
English
@JasonVaughn @andrebttx TX Republicans appear to be mostly sitting this primary out due to terrible candidates.

@DfwFreyr @umichvoter Same here, precinct chair in Lake Highlands neighborhood. Delivered several Talarico yard signs, everyone I’ve talked to laser focused on winning in Nov and think Talarico is our best chance.

@umichvoter I live in Dallas. Voted for Talarico a week ago. Have talked half a dozen friends into doing the same.

Is Colin Allred favored to win his primary for his old congressional seat? I can’t find any real news about that situation.
English
@ColinAllredTX campaigned for u, donated to u, hosted one of ur 1st ‘18 events, appeared with u in ads & print materials. We talked about our young ones, mostly. I wish you well but am disappointed with ur approach to the Sen primary & ur no longer taking my call - Dallas/LH precinct chair

Crockett’s theory of the case tonight at a Houston church:
“(Texas) Democrats have tried to talk to every Republican they can to try and get them to come over here. It hasn’t worked… if we just get the base to turn out, we can win.”
“I have the capacity to expand the base.”

.@HawleyMO says he plans to vote NO on the Kaine resolution restricting Trump on Iran. Rubio “transmitted an official notification to Congress today,” he says, “so I think the administration is in compliance with the War Powers Act.”
“I've always said that committing ground troops would be something, I think, that would require immediately congressional authorization, but that doesn't seem to be in the immediate horizon.”

@davidfrum I humbly ask you Iraq War cheerleaders sit this one out unless your thoughts begin with a mea culpa.
English
Like John Kerry and Iraq, Vance was against the Iran war until he was for it. But have patience, there may be more flip flops yet to come,
Olivia Rinaldi@olivialarinaldi
A source familiar with the Vice President's thinking before the strikes on Iran tells @CBSNews that while the Vice President was personally against the strikes, if the strikes were to happen, he argued that the operation should 'go big' and 'go fast.' A spokesperson for the Vice President declined to comment. @nytimes was first to report.

@chrislhayes @MattZeitlin We also suffered blowback casualties! We contributed to the inciting incident and then didn't protect our own from the consequences
English
@MattZeitlin Mike Johnson said essentially the same thing after the classified breifing
English
lots of verbiage here but rubio is basically saying the US's hand was forced by Israel
Alayna Treene@alaynatreene
Exact quote from Rubio on the imminent threat: "We knew that if Iran was attacked—and we believe that they would be attacked—that they would immediately come after us, and we were not going to sit there and absorb a blow before we responded... We went proactively, in a defensive way, to prevent them from inflicting higher damage. Had we not done so, there would have been hearings on Capitol Hill about how we knew that this was going to happen and we didn't act preemptively to prevent more casualties and more loss of life."

Jasmine Crockett doesn’t play respectability politics—and that’s what makes y’all uncomfortable.
When certain “liberals” call her polarizing, what they’re really saying is she’s too bold, too sharp, too unapologetic, too unbothered by white comfort.
Just say that. Stand on it.

This Senate race in Texas has exposed just how racist certain Democrats can be.

@undercoveraggie Aggies recognize the right to speak, to debate, to think…we don’t tell someone they are “not an Aggie” because we disagree. (And when it comes to the current President, there are A LOT of Aggies who disagree with you.)
Also, get our motto right if you’re going to preach it.

@LoewyLawFirm @MattMackowiak LOL. Has a lot to think about after this week.

Our guy @MattMackowiak strategizing.
