Breaking: Dallas County officials are seeking a recount of the March 3 primary results after discovering that an unknown number of ballots were not initially counted. bit.ly/39zdnQe #txlege #texasprimary #texas2020
It’s unclear how many ballots were missing from the county’s tally of votes.

It also remains unclear whether a recount would alter the outcome of any race.

1/ Pierce Bush, the grandson of the late President George H.W. Bush, lost on #SuperTuesday.

Was it a family name that doomed his congressional run, or was it his campaigning? bit.ly/2Q0oEBF

#TexasPrimary #tx2020 #VoteTexas
2/ Top political scientists said the outcome may be an indicator of the Bush family's waning clout.

But they also said it is equally suggestive of Bush's overall political strategy. bit.ly/2Q0oEBF

3/ Pierce Bush was a late entrant into an already crowded primary, though he quickly outraised his 14 opponents and eventually won a key endorsement.

But even his entrance was somewhat of a surprise: He had considered running for a different district. bit.ly/2Q0oEBF

1/ Texas polls closed at 7 p.m. in most of the state.

It's 3-and-a-half hours later — and some people are STILL in line to vote.

I’m not a career politician. I’m one of millions of Texans who have seen the world we’re giving our children and thought “hell no.” We built our campaign from the ground up together & proved we have what it takes to do something incredible in November: WIN Texas. That starts now.
The #TexasPrimary was the first major test of the powerful grassroots campaign we’ve built. Results are still rolling in, but we’re confident that we’re advancing to the runoff, and we are ready to hit the ground running.
Thank you to every candidate who stepped up to champion their ideas and values. This talented and dynamic field showed that folks across Texas have high hopes for our future. I look forward to working with all of you to move the needle on our Texas values.

1. @BernieSanders attacks "Corporate Wing" of @TheDemocrats because #DemocraticSocialsist don't believe in corporate employers. Only the revolutionary state employs you. Like in #DPRK. 😬 Under #DemorcraticSocialism elections lead to Socialist State with no private employers.
2. I'm guessing most the the limousine liberals like @ewarejman @SteveKornacki with the Range Rovers and three houses don't know that. Ever ask Bernie about his ideology? Or do we call him Comrade Bernie now? Commies attack you. That's what they do. So bring on commies trolls.
3. From the Wiki:

Democratic socialism is a political philosophy supporting political democracy within a socially owned economy,[1][2] with a particular emphasis on workers' self-management and democratic control of economic institutions within a market socialist

Biden 24
Bernie 24
Bloomberg 17
Warren 14

1. Why am I going after @BernieSanders? I caucused for him in March 2016. Later, I spotted the Russians helping him and by July 2016 I posted what I saw. See my pinned Tweet. I never believed that Sanders and Manafort's partner Devine didn't know. They had to know if I did.
2. Then last week Sanders admitted he knew for the month he was moving up in the polls that the Russians were working to help him AGAIN and AGAIN he kept his mouth shut while they did their work. Fool me once. . . @JoeBiden @MikeBloomberg @PeteButtigieg @amyklobuchar
3. Our election has already been influenced by criminal foreign intelligence conspiracy. We can't afford to have zombie candidates elect a Russian asset. We appreciate the work and the policy focus of the folks who ran in @TheDemocrats nomination but only Biden and Bloomberg are
