I'm told the primary voting history of the #SD9 special election EV is as follows: -Over half are GOP primary voters -Roughly 25% are Dem primary voters -Rest have no primary voting history Reminder that there are 2 Rs and 1 Dem in the race. #txlege
The unofficial EV turnout in the #SD9 special election is 8.3%. Cost per vote in that race is going to be insane. #txlege
