On Tuesday, 415,000 Democrats showed up to vote for governor........."and the smallest number of ballots cast — in the 14 Democratic gubernatorial primary runoffs held since 1920. That year, 449,000 Democrats voted, according to Texas Election Source's analysis of Texas State Historical Association data."
What happened? The easy answer is that the party was not excited about its choices. Furthermore, Andrew White did not really campaign or put up much of an effort against a very flawed candidate like Lupe Valdez.
