I figured a google search would give me this data instantly.......... I can't find ANY kind of data on how many registered democrats there are in texas. I found one list that showed D/R by state but only about half the states had data.

seems odd that a basic stat like that isn't readily available somewhere

Party affiliation is determined by which primary you vote in.

so if you vote in the dem primary, than the state considers you a dem?

is that "on file" somewhere?

independent you can elect which primary you vote in and your name is in both books.

in a recent post. That may be high but think of it as a rounding error. And the population of those 5 states is way less then that.

So at 10 million that would mean about 5% of the voters voted. I really doubt the 10 million figure rounding error or not. The population of Texas is 19 million 18 and older.

they still outnumber the population of those 5 states.

That is just the way it is.

Turnout rates for voting in the country, I believe its the 2nd lowest. If Dems turned out full force it would go blue.

I am sure if the Texas Democrats could somehow motivate their eligible voters to turn out, they could take back the state.

Texas Republicans can't even get their voters to turn out in any sizable numbers. Imagine if the Democrats could actually get voters to the polls. It would be a different state, and possibly a different America considering how many congressional seats they hold. Or not, considering how gerrymandered they are there.

They just do not vote. Texas is not a red state but a non-voting state.

The people in those 5 states send 7 Republican senators to D.C. Texas Democrats don't send any. It is a damn shame.
