And based on the national mood it’s likely people vote for change.01 Nov 2026 13:28 +0000at://did:plc:bkcfmvnut6vmvgncf2ogvpvt/app.bsky.feed.post/3mzaw2glonc27https://bsky.app/profile/russellhuegel.bsky.social/post/3mzavvfqxdc27Is this the same or worse than what happened in Alaska?

Lots more people voting now who didn’t vote in 2024. Nearly 50% of them Latino. That’s why polls of demographic groups are important. Because if the polling of Latino voters is somewhat accurate these “new” voters are not voting GOP.

Is worse than funding fraudulent mailers to people “Texas Trans & LGBTQ+ Student Resource Guide” to further a false belief?

And based on the fact that Trump/Republicans are losing support among every demo group, it’s a logical inference that this is very bad news. Further, these voters were not picked up in Likely Voter polls.
