Voter turnout in Texas Open Primary
I have been predicting/hoping that Texas would turn blue for a long time. There are many demographic trends that tend to show that Texas is going to turn blue. Texas is becoming younger as older/conservative voters die off and more urban. Texas has an open primary where each voter gets to decide which primary they vote in. Normally these totals give some hint as to voter enthusiasm. These numbers make me smile

Good Luck to A Blue Texas! 
A shift from Repug to Democratic in EVERY COUNTY by AT LEAST TEN PERCENT, and in most cases, TWENTY PERCENT or more!
