We purge any attempt to impose Sharia law in Texas.

You know, I think it's too early to, even though it's the day of election day, to judge what the early voting actually means.

There's clearly excitement on the Democratic side, but I think anyone who today is trying to channel some crystal ball and extrapolate what that means for November is just out throwing out fool's gold.

Because look, we saw massive turnout and enthusiasm amongst Republicans at the primary in 2022 during Biden's midterm.

And it didn't translate into turnout in November.

So from a data scientist perspective, I look at this as a positive because all these Democrats are turning out are now giving me data to judge who they are for the general election.

And that's actually very positive and will help my clients ultimately win.

But as you mentioned, I was executive director of the Republican Party of Texas back in the 90s.

I did Ted Cruz's first race in 2012 and all his subsequent races since then.

and done Governor Abbott's work over the years.

I've seen a lot in Texas.

The fact of the amount of money that has been spent, and you said you're open that it's the most ever Republican primary, and I'm sure that ends up being true, is just stunning to me.

Going into the race on election day, here's how it looks.

I should step back because I'm known as a pollster, I'm known as somebody who does data science.

Today, I run a company called Eyes Over.

And we track millions of online conversations happening in real time.

So instead of relying on polling snapshots, we measure what we call a sports score, which it tells us where the grassroots energy is moving.

And the grassroots energy leads the overall energy.

And so going into Election Day, the race looks like this.

Ken Paxton is generating just over half of the positive engagement, about 51%.
