Oops, someone on here thinks Latinos are stupid and will vote for Tarico because his name ends with a vowel.
Just to be clear here, the total number of voters cast in Hidalgo County (biggest in the RGV) in these two elections.
2026 Dem Senate primary - 60,000
2026 GOP Runoff - 6500 trending towards 9-10K.
So Dem primary participate was only 6-6.5x tonight. Doesn’t seem great for Rs to me.
And let’s look at Cameron County, which has always been somewhat more R (second biggest county down there)
2026 Dem Senate primary - 32,500
2026 GOP Runoff - 5500 trending towards 7-7.5K
