Your questions answered

We estimate that the State of Texas “shaved” off 110,000 votes from Texas counties. Please find the time to watch the video so you can see the math, and so you can share this with your elected officials, friends, and neighbors.

Some races are won by a slim margin, and especially in primary elections the low voter turnout makes each vote count at a greater percentage than in general elections. Three percent of the vote might be enough to keep someone from reaching 50% and avoiding a runoff.

Of the total vote, 3.64% was lost across all parties — but it was not evenly spread. Democrats lost an estimated 69,000 votes, which is 6.4% of Democratic turnout. Republicans lost an estimated 47,000 votes, which was 2.4% of Republican turnout.

Our numbers were validated by a data expert, and the spreadsheets were validated as well. The sum of official votes exactly matches the total governor race totals, so any manual entry of values appears to have been properly entered.

If our numbers prove to be wrong, we will adjust them, publish a retraction, and update the video if necessary. If the Secretary of State can come up with a reasonable explanation of why the numbers do not match, then we will mark the issue as resolved and move on.

Update, 7 May 2022: we found a wrong number and we have fixed it. Dallas County lost 2,000 votes, not 2,120 as originally reported. The correction is noted in the errata update.
