Texas Tribune Democratic Primary Map: 13 Counties Had No Democratic Votes for Senator

Here’s a nifty interactive primary map for the Democratic side of the Texas Senate race. What jumps out at me is less the respective totals for the Democratic candidates than the fact that that there were no votes cast in the Democratic primary for United States Senator at all in 13 counties. Sure, some (like Loving) are sparsely populated. But out of the 13,153 registered voters in Hockley County, not a single one cast a vote in the Democratic Senate primary? Either there’s something screwy with the data collection, or the Texas Democratic Party is even more pathetic than even i realized.

One more tidbit: Sean Hubbard came in dead last in his home base of Dallas County…

(They also did a map for Republican candidates as well.)
