Texas has one of the lowest primary turnouts in U.S.

DallasBlog.com | Tom Pauken:

“This decline in primary voter turnout is an issue worth watching as a signal that American politics may be in for some major changes in the not too distant future.”

Ed Cognoski responds:

Perhaps Americans in general and Texans in particular increasingly believe that their votes don't matter. It isn't hard to come up with numerous recent events supporting that belief.

That is not a signal that American politics may be in for some major changes. Just the opposite, perhaps. Declining voter turnout gives the professional politicians an even greater lock on the process, making real reform and change less likely, not more so.
