Young Democrats are flocking to register to vote in Texas after
abortion ruling, data shows
https://www.houstonchronicle.com/politics/texas/article/Texas-sees-a-surge-in-bright-blue-young-voters-17426125.php
A new analysis from political data and polling firm TargetSmart found
that while Texas’ new voter registrants are evenly split between men
and women, they are younger and more Democratic than before the June
ruling.
“It’s not that we’re not seeing a surge from women but that in Texas, >> we’re somewhat uniquely also seeing a surge from men, particularly
younger, more progressive men, who are matching the surge from women,”
said CEO Tom Bonier, whose firm works with Democratic and progressive
candidates.
“I would expect to see that trend develop more in other states as we
get closer to the election, but it was interesting to see Texas as
first in that sense.”
The state added about 300,000 new voters from June 24, the day of the
high court's ruling, to late August, state data shows. Prior to the
ruling, about 51 percent of voters identified as female, and after the
ruling, slightly less than half, or 49 percent, demarcated they were
female. Gender is an optional field on voter registration forms.
According to TargetSmart, which analyzed about 80,000 new voters added
through the end of July, Democrats now have a 10-percentage point
advantage, making up 42 percent to Republicans’ 32 percent.
Prior to the ruling in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization,
Republicans had a five-point advantage.

One of the "talking heads" I sometimes follow noted that the usual
polling of "likely voters" may not jive with the "actual voters" due to things like the abortion ruling "non traditional voters" appear to be
more likely to actually vote

However it turns out it should be an interesting election. I'm
enjoying the race for governor here. We really have two Republicans
running against a very liberal Democrat. The only real difference
between the two Republicans is their position on abortion. Between the
two of them, in the oh so *not* woke Oregon they're polling a bit over 50%--split 20/30+, with the more traditional Republican in the lead. The Democrat is polling around 33%, plus or minus a couple of points. The
race is considered a tossup.
Both of the Republican, wannabe fascists, have forgotten that the
new drug laws were passed by the voters in 2020. Recent polling shows support for the measure at 58% and and even bigger majority supporting
the idea behind the law. So they're running hard against it.

I really think the Republicans are the dog that caught the car.
They have handed the Democrats a huge gift. I'll be surprised and disappointed if that one thing alone isn't enough to put the Democrat
over the top in the governor's race here.
Whoever we elect they will have to deal with a heavily Democrat
legislature. Both of the Republicans are claiming they are the only one
who can get anything done. lol

I'm praying for a Republican victory! It's time to willow switch that devil weed right back into the closet, just like the moderate Fascists elsewhere have done with abortion! As the former AG J. Sessions said, "Good people don't smoke muggles!"
