Joe Biden

Although it was considered a vulnerable state for Trump by some pollsters and experts and a potential upset victory for Biden due to its recent demographic trends, Trump held Texas with 52.1% of the vote, roughly the same percentage he carried it with in 2016. Biden improved on Hillary Clinton's 2016 vote share by 3.24%, giving him the largest percentage in the state by a Democratic presidential candidate since Jimmy Carter carried the state in 1976. Trump's 5.58% margin of victory was also the narrowest for a Republican since 1996. Texas was the third-narrowest of Trump's state victories, behind only Florida and North Carolina, and the ninth-closest state overall. The election was also the first time Texas placed in the top ten closest states since 1968, and the first time since 1976 that Texas voted to the left of Ohio.[5][6] This was also the first election since 1964 that the counties containing the five largest cities in Texas, consisting of Houston, San Antonio, Dallas, Austin, and Fort Worth, would vote Democratic at the same time. As in most other states in 2020, Trump significantly outperformed his polling.[7] Voter turnout in the state increased to its highest level since 1992, when two Texans, George H. W. Bush and Ross Perot, were on the ballot, and the last time Texas was a battleground state.[8]

Voting access edit

Matters of election administration and ease of voting during an ongoing pandemic were heavily litigated in Texas in 2020. Harris County, the most populous one in Texas, spearheaded a number of innovative approaches and was the focal point of several legal challenges.

For the 2020 elections, Harris County Commissioners approved a budget of $33 million, higher than the $4 million budget for the 2016 United States presidential election. Chris Hollins, the interim Harris County Clerk and Texas Democratic Party finance vice chairperson, created a 23-point voting access expansion program, which included promotion of voting by mail, expansion of early voting accessibility, and drive-through voting, an innovation to facilitate voting while at the same time mitigating infection risks during the COVID-19 pandemic.[31] On October 29 several voting locations in Harris County were available for 24 hours to accommodate voters whose work shifts or other responsibilities overlapped with regular voting hours.[32]

Local Republican activists and officials challenged the voter-friendly measures in multiple legal actions, with mixed success. Several lawsuits complained about early voting and about Harris County providing multiple drop-off locations for absentee ballots. Responding to pressure from within his own party, Governor Abbott then restricted the number of drop-offs to a single one per county regardless of population and size, forcing Harris County to close eleven sites at county clerk branch offices called annexes.[33]

When a legal action challenging drive-through voting was dismissed,[31] the Republican Party in Texas sought relief in the Texas Supreme Court (SCOTX), which denied the petition because the case had not been brought promptly.[34] The first lawsuit was filed on October 15 even though Harris County had obtained prior clearance from the Office of the Texas Secretary of State (which is led by a Republican appointed by Republican Governor Abbott) and had tested drive-in voting in the primary runoff elections in July without complaint.[35][36] SCOTX denied the petition and drive-thru voting continued.[37] On October 29 another action was filed seeking to invalidate drive-thru ballots based on the contention that this was a form of curbside voting that the Texas Election Code authorized only for voters with disabilities.[38] In an order issued on Sunday, November 1, the Texas Supreme Court denied the petition challenging the legality of drive-through voting, but did not resolve the legal argument one way or the other.[39][40] The next day, U.S. District Judge Andrew Hanen heard an almost identical case by the same group of plaintiff, which included Republican candidates, on an emergency basis. Slate described the judge as "one of the most notoriously partisan conservatives in the federal judiciary."[36] Hanen ruled against the plaintiffs, dismissing their action for lack of standing, with the result that drive-in voting remained in effect. The Plaintiffs, which included Steve Toth,[41] immediately sought emergency relief in the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals, but were unsuccessful.[42] Hollins nevertheless cancelled drive-thru voting in tent structures on the eve of Election Day.[43] He reversed himself out of concern that ballots cast there might be declared invalid, should the Fifth Circuit disagree with Judge Hanen on the standing issue and agree with Judge Hanen that tents were not permissible polling places on Election Day.[44]

Some counties also set up an online system that allowed voters to check for wait times at early voting centers and make their voting plans accordingly.[45]

On October 5, Texas Governor Greg Abbott issued a proclamation under the Texas Disaster Act limiting each county to a single drop-off location for mail ballots.[46] Federal judge Robert Pitman blocked Abbott's order on October 9.[47] The next day, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton appealed to the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals for an emergency stay of Pitman's ruling, which a three-judge motion panel temporarily granted on an interim basis, pending consideration of the appeal on the merits.[48] A Texas state judge also blocked Abbott's order on October 15, and a state appeals court upheld that decision on October 23. Paxton then sought emergency relief from the Texas Supreme Court, which backed the Governor and lifted the temporary injunction in an October 27 decision with no dissent.[49][50][51]

Turnout edit

Voter registration in Texas ended on October 5, and the Secretary of State reported a registration total of 16,955,519 voters, an increase of 1,854,432 since the 2016 elections, and 1.2 million of which had occurred after the 2018 midterm elections.

Early voting began on October 13. Over one million ballots were received on that day,[52] and by October 15 fewer than two million ballots were counted.[53] The following day the count was 2.6 million, which meant 15.51% of the state's registered voters had already voted.[54]

For the whole early voting period, votes in the age 18-29 range were higher than the total of that age group of 2016, with 1.3 million votes.[55]

On October 13, Dallas County recorded 59,905 ballots and Tarrant County recorded 42,428 ballots, with the former setting a record for that county and the latter below the 2016 count on the first day of early voting.[56]

On October 13, Harris County had an unofficial tally of 128,186 ballots received, the highest ever first day early voting count and over 5% of the county's registered voters.[57] By the second day, the count was 287,931, 11% of the county's registered voters.[58] On the third day, over 100,000 ballots were counted, and in those three days 387,000 ballots were counted, with 44,000 of them issued through the mail.[59] On the fourth day, a similar number of ballots were cast, which meant the number of ballots cast total was about 500,000.[60] On October 23, there were 1 million ballots cast from Harris County.[61]

On October 13, Travis County received 35,873 ballots,[62] while it received 38,119 the following day,[63] and by 3 P.M. on Thursday over 26,000.[64] When voting closed on Thursday the percentage of Travis County voters who had already voted was 16.44%. On Friday 41,328 additional votes were counted.[54] Williamson County by the third day had a 64,891 votes out of 376,931 people registered to vote, which meant its turnout was already 17.25%.[65]

On October 13, Bexar County recorded 78,000 votes, with over 45,000 by mail and the remainder in person.[52]

On October 13, El Paso County recorded fewer than 34,000 votes.[52]

By October 19, Texas voters cast 50% of the votes cast in the 2016 presidential election in Texas. By October 22, 65.5% of 2016 votes were cast (or 34.65% of registered voters). By October 25, over 80% of 2016 votes were cast (or 43% of registered voters),[66] and by October 29, 50% of registered voters had cast ballots by early in-person and absentee ballot. By October 30, statewide voter turnout, as well as turnout in Harris County, had already surpassed the total of 2016.[67]

Analysis edit

While Biden still won Latino voters in Texas with 58%[69] and Latinos of Mexican heritage with 63%,[70] Trump significantly improved his numbers among Hispanic voters in the state, particularly in the Rio Grande Valley.[71] Trump flipped Jim Wells County and La Salle County which had not voted Republican since 1972. He also flipped Frio County, Kleberg County, Reeves County, Val Verde County, and Kenedy County; the first 4 having last voted Republican in 2004 and the last having last voted Republican in 2012. He also became the first Republican to win Zapata County since Warren G. Harding in 1920, flipping it by five points after losing it by 33 points in 2016. Trump's total of eight counties flipped in South Texas was the most flipped by any candidate in any state in 2020, and he flipped more counties in South Texas than he did in the rest of the nation combined.

Biden significantly outperformed Clinton in Greater Austin, which was a significant contributor to Trump's relatively weak performance statewide. He flipped Hays County and Williamson County, both of them suburban counties located outside of the state capital that a Democrat had not won since 1992 and 1976, respectively. This is also the first election since 1956 when the latter voted for the statewide loser.[72] Biden also became the first Democratic candidate to garner at least 50,000 votes in Bell County, a county just outside of Greater Austin and had the center of Texas population within it in the 2010 census. At 44.76%, he outperformed Obama's record for the highest percentage of votes a Democratic presidential nominee received in Bell County since 1976, the last time the county voted for a Democrat.

Also, Biden became the first Democrat to ever win the White House without Jefferson County.[73] Biden also became the first Democrat to win without Frio County since it was formed in 1871, the first to win without La Salle County since it was formed in 1880, the first to win without Reeves County since it was formed in 1883, the first to win without Val Verde County since it was formed in 1885, the first to win without Jim Wells County since it was founded in 1911, the first to win without Kleberg County since it was founded in 1913, and the first Democrat to win the White House without winning Zapata County since Woodrow Wilson in 1916.[74] Because of Trump's substantial gains in heavily Hispanic areas, Biden's best performance in Texas came not from the southern border region, but Travis County, encompassing the college-educated, cosmopolitan, liberal bastion of Austin, home to the University of Texas, where he won the highest percentage for a Democrat since Harry S. Truman in 1948.

Biden also improved throughout the three most significant metropolitan areas in Texas. While not significantly outperforming Clinton in Harris and Bexar counties, he did make considerable inroads into their surrounding suburbs, thus eking out narrow wins in Greater Houston and Greater San Antonio,[75][76] the first time a Democratic presidential nominee had accomplished such a feat in the 21st century. However, in the former, gains were incredibly mixed. Trump saw substantial growth in Houston's north and east, home to large concentrations of Latinos. He also improved in diverse Alief, along Harris County's southwest border, which is heavily Hispanic, Filipino, and Vietnamese. On the other hand, Biden continued Clinton's gains in the wealthy college-educated "Houston Arrow" suburbs in the city's west, though his improvements were significantly more minor.[77]

Perhaps the biggest reason for Biden narrowing the Lone Star State's margin of victory was the surge of Democratic support in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex, the largest metropolitan area in the state, which he also narrowly won. He scored nearly 65% of the vote in Dallas County, the highest percentage won by a Democrat since 1940. Additionally, Biden narrowly flipped Tarrant County, winning by fewer than 2,000 votes. Tarrant County is home to the fifth-largest city in Texas, Fort Worth, and had not been won by a Democrat since 1964, when favorite son Lyndon B. Johnson carried it. His growth in the profoundly Republican Fort Worth suburbs, which historically kept Democratic candidates from capturing Tarrant, was a critical factor in winning the county and the Metroplex as a whole. Biden improved substantially in the large DFW suburbs of Collin County and Denton County, which have rapidly grown and diversified in the past decade, narrowing Trump's victory margins from 16.57% and 20% in 2016, down to 4.37% and 8.08%, respectively. Both of their county seats (the two suburban cities of McKinney and Denton, respectively) have trended leftward since 2016 due to the influx of younger professionals and families in the past decade, which shifted to the Democrats in this election. Biden also won the city of Plano, the largest city in Collin County, and narrowly won the city of Allen.[78][79]

Dianne Solis et al. of The Dallas Morning News stated that according to polls, "Democrat Joe Biden overwhelmingly won the Latino vote in Texas' urban areas."[80] In the historically Democratic Rio Grande Valley, Biden's lead significantly narrowed from 2016.[80]

In 2021, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton stated on Steve Bannon's podcast War Room that without blocking Harris County from sending out applications for mail-in ballots to registered voters, Trump would have lost the state.[81]

of Texas Texas Tribune Feb 15 24 2019 1 200 RV 2 83 49 51 av Voting access edit Matters of election administration and ease of voting during an ongoing pandemic were heavily litigated in Texas in 2020 Harris County the most populous one in Texas spearheaded a number of innovative approaches and was the focal point of several legal challenges For the 2020 elections Harris County Commissioners approved a budget of 33 million higher than the 4 million budget for the 2016 United States presidential election Chris Hollins the interim Harris County Clerk and Texas Democratic Party finance vice chairperson created a 23 point voting access expansion program which included promotion of voting by mail expansion of early voting accessibility and drive through voting an innovation to facilitate voting while at the same time mitigating infection risks during the COVID 19 pandemic 31 On October 29 several voting locations in Harris County were available for 24 hours to accommodate voters whose work shifts or other responsibilities overlapped with regular voting hours 32 Local Republican activists and officials challenged the voter friendly measures in multiple legal actions with mixed success Several lawsuits complained about early voting and about Harris County providing multiple drop off locations for absentee ballots Responding to pressure from within his own party Governor Abbott then restricted the number of drop offs to a single one per county regardless of population and size forcing Harris County to close eleven sites at county clerk branch offices called annexes 33 When a legal action challenging drive through voting was dismissed 31 the Republican Party in Texas sought relief in the Texas Supreme Court SCOTX which denied the petition because the case had not been brought promptly 34 The first lawsuit was filed on October 15 even though Harris County had obtained prior clearance from the Office of the Texas Secretary of State which is led by a Republican appointed by Republican Governor Abbott and had tested drive in voting in the primary runoff elections in July without complaint 35 36 SCOTX denied the petition and drive thru voting continued 37 On October 29 another action was filed seeking to invalidate drive thru ballots based on the contention that this was a form of curbside voting that the Texas Election Code authorized only for voters with disabilities 38 In an order issued on Sunday November 1 the Texas Supreme Court denied the petition challenging the legality of drive through voting but did not resolve the legal argument one way or the other 39 40 The next day U S District Judge Andrew Hanen heard an almost identical case by the same group of plaintiff which included Republican candidates on an emergency basis Slate described the judge as one of the most notoriously partisan conservatives in the federal judiciary 36 Hanen ruled against the plaintiffs dismissing their action for lack of standing with the result that drive in voting remained in effect The Plaintiffs which included Steve Toth 41 immediately sought emergency relief in the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals but were unsuccessful 42 Hollins nevertheless cancelled drive thru voting in tent structures on the eve of Election Day 43 He reversed himself out of concern that ballots cast there might be declared invalid should the Fifth Circuit disagree with Judge Hanen on the standing issue and agree with Judge Hanen that tents were not permissible polling places on Election Day 44 Some counties also set up an online system that allowed voters to check for wait times at early voting centers and make their voting plans accordingly 45 On October 5 Texas Governor Greg Abbott issued a proclamation under the Texas Disaster Act limiting each county to a single drop off location for mail ballots 46 Federal judge Robert Pitman blocked Abbott s order on October 9 47 The next day Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton appealed to the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals for an emergency stay of Pitman s ruling which a three judge motion panel temporarily granted on an interim basis pending consideration of the appeal on the merits 48 A Texas state judge also blocked Abbott s order on October 15 and a state appeals court upheld that decision on October 23 Paxton then sought emergency relief from the Texas Supreme Court which backed the Governor and lifted the temporary injunction in an October 27 decision with no dissent 49 50 51 Turnout edit Voter registration in Texas ended on October 5 and the Secretary of State reported a registration total of 16 955 519 voters an increase of 1 854 432 since the 2016 elections and 1 2 million of which had occurred after the 2018 midterm elections Early voting began on October 13 Over one million ballots were received on that day 52 and by October 15 fewer than two million ballots were counted 53 The following day the count was 2 6 million which meant 15 51 of the state s registered voters had already voted 54 For the whole early voting period votes in the age 18 29 range were higher than the total of that age group of 2016 with 1 3 million votes 55 On October 13 Dallas County recorded 59 905 ballots and Tarrant County recorded 42 428 ballots with the former setting a record for that county and the latter below the 2016 count on the first day of early voting 56 On October 13 Harris County had an unofficial tally of 128 186 ballots received the highest ever first day early voting count and over 5 of the county s registered voters 57 By the second day the count was 287 931 11 of the county s registered voters 58 On the third day over 100 000 ballots were counted and in those three days 387 000 ballots were counted with 44 000 of them issued through the mail 59 On the fourth day a similar number of ballots were cast which meant the number of ballots cast total was about 500 000 60 On October 23 there were 1 million ballots cast from Harris County 61 On October 13 Travis County received 35 873 ballots 62 while it received 38 119 the following day 63 and by 3 P M on Thursday over 26 000 64 When voting closed on Thursday the percentage of Travis County voters who had already voted was 16 44 On Friday 41 328 additional votes were counted 54 Williamson County by the third day had a 64 891 votes out of 376 931 people registered to vote which meant its turnout was already 17 25 65 On October 13 Bexar County recorded 78 000 votes with over 45 000 by mail and the remainder in person 52 On October 13 El Paso County recorded fewer than 34 000 votes 52 By October 19 Texas voters cast 50 of the votes cast in the 2016 presidential election in Texas By October 22 65 5 of 2016 votes were cast or 34 65 of registered voters By October 25 over 80 of 2016 votes were cast or 43 of registered voters 66 and by October 29 50 of registered voters had cast ballots by early in person and absentee ballot By October 30 statewide voter turnout as well as turnout in Harris County had

his numbers among Hispanic voters in the state particularly in the Rio Grande Valley 71 Trump flipped Jim Wells County and La Salle County which had not voted Republican since 1972 He also flipped Frio County Kleberg County Reeves County Val Verde County and Kenedy County the first 4 having last voted Republican in 2004 and the last having last voted Republican in 2012 He also became the first Republican to win Zapata County since Warren G Harding in 1920 flipping it by five points after losing it by 33 points in 2016 Trump s total of eight counties flipped in South Texas was the most flipped by any candidate in any state in 2020 and he flipped more counties in South Texas than he did in the rest of the nation combined Biden significantly outperformed Clinton in Greater Austin which was a significant contributor to Trump s relatively weak performance statewide He flipped Hays County and Williamson County both of them suburban counties located outside of the state capital that a Democrat had not won since 1992 and 1976 respectively This is also the first election since 1956 when the latter voted for the statewide loser 72 Biden also became the first Democratic candidate to garner at least 50 000 votes in Bell County a county just outside of Greater Austin and had the center of Texas population within it in the 2010 census At 44 76 he outperformed Obama s record for the highest percentage of votes a Democratic presidential nominee received in Bell County since 1976 the last time the county voted for a Democrat Also Biden became the first Democrat to ever win the White House without Jefferson County 73 Biden also became the first Democrat to win without Frio County since it was formed in 1871 the first to win without La Salle County since it was formed in 1880 the first to win without Reeves County since it was formed in 1883 the first to win without Val Verde County since it was formed in 1885 the first to win without Jim Wells County since it was founded in 1911 the first to win without Kleberg County since it was founded in 1913 and the first Democrat to win the White House without winning Zapata County since Woodrow Wilson in 1916 74 Because of Trump s substantial gains in heavily Hispanic areas Biden s best performance in Texas came not from the southern border region but Travis County encompassing the college educated cosmopolitan liberal bastion of Austin home to the University of Texas where he won the highest percentage for a Democrat since Harry S Truman in 1948 Biden also improved throughout the three most significant metropolitan areas in Texas While not significantly outperforming Clinton in Harris and Bexar counties he did make considerable inroads into their surrounding suburbs thus eking out narrow wins in Greater Houston and Greater San Antonio 75 76 the first time a Democratic presidential nominee had accomplished such a feat in the 21st century However in the former gains were incredibly mixed Trump saw substantial growth in Houston s north and east home to large concentrations of Latinos He also improved in diverse Alief along Harris County s southwest border which is heavily Hispanic Filipino and Vietnamese On the other hand Biden continued Clinton s gains in the wealthy college educated Houston Arrow suburbs in the city s west though his improvements were significantly more minor 77 Perhaps the biggest reason for Biden narrowing the Lone Star State s margin of victory was the surge of Democratic support in the Dallas Fort Worth Metroplex the largest metropolitan area in the state which he also narrowly won He scored nearly 65 of the vote in Dallas County the highest percentage won by a Democrat since 1940 Additionally Biden narrowly flipped Tarrant County winning by fewer than 2 000 votes Tarrant County is home to the fifth largest city in Texas Fort Worth and had not been won by a Democrat since 1964 when favorite son Lyndon B Johnson carried it His growth in the profoundly Republican Fort Worth suburbs which historically kept Democratic candidates from capturing Tarrant was a critical factor in winning the county and the Metroplex as a whole Biden improved substantially in the large DFW suburbs of Collin County and Denton County which have rapidly grown and diversified in the past decade narrowing Trump s victory margins from 16 57 and 20 in 2016 down to 4 37 and 8 08 respectively Both of their county seats the two suburban cities of McKinney and Denton respectively have trended leftward since 2016 due to the influx of younger professionals and families in the past decade which shifted to the Democrats in this election Biden also won the city of Plano the largest city in Collin County and narrowly won the city of Allen 78 79 Dianne Solis et al of The Dallas Morning News stated that according to polls Democrat Joe Biden overwhelmingly won the Latino vote in Texas urban areas 80 In the historically Democratic Rio Grande Valley Biden s lead significantly narrowed from 2016 80 In 2021 Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton stated on Steve Bannon s podcast War Room that without blocking Harris County from sending out applications for mail in ballots to registered voters Trump would have lost the state 81 Edison exit polls edit 2020 presidential election in Texas by demographic subgroup Edison exit polling 82 83
