“Latino voters flocked to Tuesday’s Democratic primary in Texas in droves, reversing a long-running erosion for the party ahead of this year’s pivotal midterms,” Politico reports.

“The numbers were dramatic: In five different rural majority-Latino counties, more votes were cast in Tuesday’s Democratic primary than for Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential election.”

They will disrupt precincts that are flipping Blue. Texas was a preview.

Expect ICE agents and intimidation.

...being some sort of permanent realignment toward any Republican.

Not to mention that fleeing the state to deny quorum gave Talarico the exposure that made yesterday's victory possible.

Poor things.

Victims of their own vile schemes.

Heartbreakingwarming!
