19. It's weird. Her strongest supporters don't live in her district

She's in one of those new GOP districts that Abbott drew. It was progressive, but now it's red-blue-dog. Greg Casar represents the old district. It's those from the old district that support her. She also lives in Greg Casar's district.

Our primaries are plagued by people who vote for latina women without regard for any other candidate.
Maureen is not Latina, but voters don't know that.
We lost of lot of good black judges because they had latinas running against them.

We had very high turnout because of Trump. But voters were not informed.

The good news: runoffs tend to have more informed voters than primaries.
