Upcoming November 3rd General Election
The next election will be the General Election on November 3, 2026. This election is sometimes called the Gubernatorial Election because this is the cycle that we elect the Governor of Texas and almost all of the major state offices. This is a big one. Not only is Greg Abbott on the ballot but the monumental U.S. Senate seat for Texas is also up for grabs. The Democrats have selected another far left candidate that they masquerade as a moderate. It’s a ploy they have used for decades and it has worked on the uneducated voters. In general, Democrats are going to vote for Democrats, and Republicans for Republicans, but when you run a wolf in sheep’s clothing, you can get a number of independents to vote your way. That’s the strategy anyway.
Unfortunately, if the Democrats do a good job at getting out their voters and swaying enough independents who have drank that particular brand of KoolAid, the U.S. Senate seat could unimaginably be lost…for six years. Not only that, but it puts at risk, every single Republican candidate on the ballot in November. Why? Because the Democrats vote ALL THE WAY DOWN THE BALLOT. In a typical election cycle, the candidates furthest down the ballot with a (D) next to their name, still get about 90% of the votes that were cast for Governor and Senator. So if the Democratic candidate for Senate or Governor gets 2 million votes in November, every statewide Democrat will get around 1.8 million votes. On the Republican side, the down ballot candidates will get as low as 80% of the votes that were cast for Senator or Governor. That’s a huge difference. Same example, if 2 million votes go to Paxton or Abbott, only 1.6 million will be cast for the down ballot candidates.
So we need to get off our proverbial couches, and GET OUT AND VOTE. Make sure you become active when it comes to getting people to the polls. That means neighbors, friends, business associates, etc. Let them know what’s at stake. Obviously you need to know them well enough to know how they vote, but you need to be the one to get people motivated. Don’t rely on the other person to do it.
Election Day is Tuesday November 3rd. Early Voting starts on Monday, October 19th and ends on Friday, October 30th. If you qualify for ballot by Mail, the last day to apply if Friday, October 23rd. And if for some reason you’re not yet registered (in the Texas county you reside in), the last day to do that is Monday, October 5th by 5pm. Remember if you move from one Texas county to another, YOU MUST RE-REGISTER IN THE COUNTY YOU CURRENTLY RESIDE IN.
