Top 10s

By Karl-Thomas Musselman

Byron sent me a great file tonight that has the Prop 2 vote broken down by county with turnout percentages. If you'd like to download it and play around with things to see where your county falls, click here. It's in excel format.

I've pulled out some Top 10 lists already. One note, 23 counties voted below the state average on Prop 2, so the first list is a Top 23 list.

Looks like Travis County wins one of the Champions of the Republic plaques from the Secretary of State for having the highest turnout among counties over 250,000. King County wins the under 250,000 award. Travis County, Champion of the Republic... how much you want to bet the Secretary of State forgets to send us our plaque.

I am proud of Travis County for doing the right thing. Unfortunately, we were the only county with the right idea about Prop 2.

Thanks K-T.

The Houston Chronicle was trying to argue that hispanic and black boxes were strongly supporting Prop. 2.

These numbers make it plainly obvious that almost nobody showed up to vote in the Valley. So there goes that theory.

Dear Patrick Rose:

Your district is nowhere near as red as you think. You have no excuses now. The next time you're not with us, we are coming for you, and we will stomp your cute little ass.

Love,
Texas queers
