Last week’s primary elections in Georgia, Nebraska and Indiana were epic fails for Democrat turnout. In Texas, it was even worse. The Democrat primary for governor to challenge Greg Abbott resulted in a runoff election that took place last Tuesday. Unreported by the corrupt media is that fact that the Democrat primary to runoff voter turn out declined a whopping 600,000 or so votes, or a whopping 60%. The runoff was the lowest voter turnout in Texas since 1920.

There were even four counties in Texas that saw ZERO Democrat votes. ZERO! So much for your blue wave. The Democrats and media tried this crap in 2014, trying to hype up Wendy Davis for Governor. Come election day in 2014, she couldn’t even get 40% of the total vote.
My NewsBusters colleague Tom Blumer has pointed out how old media outlets have failed to report on the stunning shift in the Reuters/Ipsos poll showing the midterm election choices swinging towards the Republicans. Not only is much of the mainstream media ignoring polls showing this shift they are also failing to report on evidence on the ground in elections themselves that enthusiasm for the Democrats is waning.
One such significant bit of evidence occurred in the recent Texas primary runoff elections in which Democrat turnout hit a record low. This was reported by the Texas Tribune, normally a liberal cheerleader for the Democrats to the extent that they refrained from reporting on a significant setback in the Wendy Davis campaign in 2014 when she was running for governor in that state. However, even the Texas Tribune can’t hide the sad truth as it reported on May 22 that Voter turnout in a Texas Democratic gubernatorial runoff hasn’t been this low in nearly 100 years:
