Saw this on Reddit. But they linked to X. So here’s the news from the source.
Apparently there’s a “Find Out PAC” that’s targeting Texas Supreme Court justices this fall.
They did a poll of likely voters in July, just around when Biden was dropping out.
The incumbent Republican Texas Supreme Court justices running for re-election currently lead their opponents on the Democratic slate. This lead is only due to the partisan advantage GOP down ballot candidates hold in the state – and because only a limited number are aware of the Republicans’ extreme anti-abortion decisions. When voters hear about their callous rulings that have put women with complicated pregnancies lives at life-threatening risk, there is a significant shift away from the GOP slate. The Democrats pull into essentially tied with a large pool of undecided voters who support abortion rights and overwhelmingly believe that abortion should be legal to save the life of the mother. Learning about the GOP slate’s extreme anti-abortion decisions motivates Texas’ Democrats and pro-abortion rights voters which could boost turnout in November.

So, before new voters excited by Kamala/Walz come into play, the race would be competitive if voters can be educated about the recent SC rulings.
After Kamala/Walz, I’d expect the “likely voter” polling to be even worse for the Rs.
Educating the voters about the SC rulings about abortion would reinforce the current enthusiasm for the D ticket:
Educating voters on the Republican slate’s extreme anti-abortion positions increases their motivation to vote in November. After learning more about their positions, 86% of voters are motivated to vote, with 71% being extremely motivated.
If anyone can spare a little $ for Find Out Pac, it would be appreciated.
[I have no affiliation with the Find Out Pac. I’m just a fan of their work.]
