James Talarico got more 'votes' than any Democrat candidate has EVER gotten in Texas history. He got 500,000 more 'votes' than Kamala Harris got two years ago in a Presidential election year. The demographics of Texas have not changed significantly in two years.

You can talk about gas prices, or Iran, or Trump's personality until the cows come home, this still seems ... odd, to say the least.

The previous record for most Texas 'votes' for a Democrat was for Joe Biden in 2020 who got 129,000 FEWER 'votes' than Talarico has gotten so far (they're still counting) and that was the Presidential election year in which Joe Biden got 81 MILLION total 'votes.'

It's weird how many bizarrely irate, oddly defensive, rage-filled people I've had to block for pointing out incontrovertible facts about anomalous events.

I can only speculate as to the reason for their hyper-emotive response, just as I can speculate as the cause for the ... ahem, anomalies.
