    He may live in HSB but he's at a Starbucks in Westlake a lot because I see him there...a lot.

    Unless Dodds has moved he lives off either Via Fortuna or Bartons Bluff Ln 78746

    No, you don't get my point.

    Let me help you.

    My point is we followed you when "you people" insisted we needed to look the other way and allow a rape enabler and drug felon on campus. The "scumbag program" contingent got what you asked for. Now, you are claiming you need far more scumbag latitude.

    NO.

    Why should we continue to follow you down an ethical sewer when your scumbag philosophy has proven to be a failure?

    We gave in to the scumbags, the scumbag philosophy proved incapable of the "Holy Grail" of being able to beat TCU and OU.

    Even though you got your "needed" rape enabler and a drug felon.

    Walk me through why the non-scumbag contingent needs to give in even more and drive UT athletics into something that even the faithful cant stand to be associated with, just to beat TCU and OU in football.

    We gave the ethical scumbags what you wanted, you failed to deliver, and your only response is that Texas athletics isn't willing to go even deeper into an ethical sewer.

    No.

    So you think if you repeat the same post a jillion times you will win the argument?

    I don't get this.   There look to be about 750k votes still to be counted in PA.   Biden is behind by 164k.    That means he has to run at something like 78/22 to get that kind of margin.

    How are you getting your numbers? 

    .61 x 750k = 457.5k

    .39 x 750k = 292.5k

    457.5k - 292.5k = 165k

    Biden needs to win 61/39.  

    Seems to be a done deal.

  4. Years ago, in the early '90s I took real estate classes at ACC and the day the instructor was going over the rules about anti-discrimination in renting a young Asian girl blurted out, "I would never rent to Asians."  The instructor told her she couldn't do that because of the anti-discrimination rules we had just learned. The young Asian said, "But since I'm Asian it would not be considered discrimination."  Even after the instructor told her it is still discrimination I could tell she still didn't believe it.

    Fair to assume that 1 million new voters would break 60/40 at least for a net of 200,000 to Biden?

    It might be in this thread but somewhere it was sourced that the 11 "whole foods" counties (essentially DFW, Houston, San Antonio, Austin) added 765k registered voters and the rest of the state added like 300k. Those 11 counties will go about 60-40. But the rest of the state won't, so the net is probably less.

    If and it is a big IF there are 3 million more Texas voters in 2020 than in 2016 that doesn't mean 3 million newly registered voters. It means a shit-ton of people who haven't voted before got up off their asses and voted coupled with the newly registered).

    My in-laws voted yesterday in Travis County. They waited for about an hour, and when they got near the front of the line, apparently a poll worker was coming through the line offering ballots that could be dropped off on Airport.

    That seems odd to me. They are quite a bit older, and their stories aren’t always clear. Anybody know what that could’ve been? Can you go to a polling station, get a mail-in ballot, then go drop it off?

    Yeah, I believe the in-laws are incorrect. Poll workers are handing out sample ballots that one can fill out and use at the voting machine. Maybe someone asked where absentee ballots are being dropped off in Travis county and the worker said Airport Blvd.

    I'm not worried about that at all.  I think a lot of people weren't rushing out in anticipation that it would be crowded.

    We have 14 days of early voting.  I fully expect to see Tarrant have significantly more votes in 2020 than it did in 2016. 

    Texas has 18 days of early voting, Oct 13 - 30.

    I recall someone saying we'll know the Texas results by election night – is that true? I know lots of states can't legally start counting until Election Day (which is fucking stupid and part of the GOP's tactic to sow electoral chaos), but is that the case in Texas? All of these record turnouts have me bullish on Texas' chances of turning blue, unlikely as it may be.

      

    Texas counts the early vote and reports it on election night.
