As early voting in the Texas’ March 5 primary draws to a close, a sizable number of Travis County Republicans have made the unusual decision to vote in the Democratic party’s primary election.

An analysis of the 30,690 early votes cast in Travis County through Wednesday, Feb. 28, conducted by local campaign consultant Jim Wick shows that 15% of voters in the 2024 Democratic primary have some history of voting in Republican primaries since 2012, while 4% have voted exclusively in Republican primaries over the same period.

Wick also ran the same analysis for Travis County’s 2022 Democratic primary and found that the number of voters with some GOP voting history had more than doubled since 2022 (7.1%) and the number of voters with exclusive GOP voting history had increased five times (0.8% in 2022).

So is this change about local elections? Or fucking with Biden? Or people actually switching parties?
