Elections where most Texans disagree with Davis.

Yes, its a repressive area and Davis likely will experience backlash for her actions. Which is exactly what makes her all the more courageous in my eyes.

[senshifan.livejournal.com]

Indeed. We need more politicians like her.

I never get why anyone who earns less than a million a year would vote republican. It's not like they have anything to gain from any republican policy.

Because of all the jobs created by obstructing access to abortion and women's health services?

/don't have a clue either

[bonesnapdeez.livejournal.com]

Because they hate minorities and women and want to see them oppressed.

Because they're being used. First they are threatened that their morality is under assault (which is nonsense, but hey), then the GOP comes riding to their rescue. The result:

While Christian conservatives with high incomes are more likely to vote for Republicans than their poorer counterparts, evangelicals "tip" to the Republican Party at a much lower income level than do other voters—about $50,000 lower, according to statistical analysis. Put another way, an evangelical voter with $50,000 in annual income is as likely to be a Republican as a nonevangelical voter with $100,000 in annual income. In a country where the typical household income is around $50,000, this is hug effect, and it means that Republicans attract far more support from lower-and middle-class voters than they would otherwise.

Texas districts are so heavily gerrymandered against Democrats.

They're willing to sell themselves out economically for their morality. Democrats earning over $50Kpa do the same.
