The early voting blog is updated!
Time to start modeling what gov needs to do with remaining ballots to survive. He needs to cut GOP ballot deficit in Clark by half and not lose Washoe by too much. Uphill but not impossible.

Today marks 2 years since I started HRT. 2 years since Ken Paxton and the rest of the Texas GOP lost the control they had over my life and I was finally allowed to be myself.
I’m proud to say that I voted against my attempted killer today.
Fuck you, Ken.
I’m a Texan trans kid who almost died because of Ken Paxton. The world should know what he’s done.
This was very difficult for me to write, but given what's at stake, I cannot bear to stay silent about what I went through at Paxton's hands.
He must not be rewarded for what he's done to trans kids.

A Black MAGA content creator said she “cannot believe the disrespect” after she was removed from a San Antonio rally hosted by GOP Senate candidate Ken Paxton
Part of the answer to "how did we get here?" is that many major journalists—since 1998, Crawford has covered SCOTUS for PBS, ABC, and CBS—are lying bigots. Here Crawford is praising a guy who asked a dumb racist question, glitched out when asked why, then admitted he wanted a Christian theocracy.
SCOOP: 'Tommy' from the now-viral exchange with Abdul El-Sayed is Thomas Teepell, a former staffer for Republican Senator Josh Hawley with close ties to Christian Nationalist Sean Feucht. He's the son of a former Bobby Jindal staffer whose consultant work was instrumental in getting Hawley elected.

UNEARTHED: Ken Paxton caught on video partying with fugitives in Dubai.
The fugitives were charged with healthcare fraud and helped bankroll Paxton’s campaign.
holy shit -- a protester at the Trump rally gets physically assaulted after they interrupt the rally by a man who punches her in the face. Trump smears the protester as a "fat guy"
Look, adults are adults and they will do stupid things if they can afford it. And everyone wants to look young forever. I get it.
But if we are going to shame trans kids as mentally suspect can we start discussing the mental well-being of these rich folks who do things like this to themselves?

There you have it, folks.
If moderates don't support leftist candidates, moderates are evil.
If moderates do support a leftist candidate, the leftist candidate must be evil.
