Now, there are 18 million registered voters in Texas, the highest number ever. SMU political scientist Cal Jillson says Hispanics, who used to register at low rates are now signing up in much bigger numbers.

If you live in Texas, make sure to register to vote! The deadline is coming up in a few days on the 7th. Note that for Texas you must register either in person or by mail, you cannot register online unlike most states

    Another million might’ve made us blue already. Trump had the smallest GOP margin of victory in Texas in decades! Texas picked Carter, LBJ, and JFK for President! If Harris wins Texas then there’s basically no way Trump can sue his way to victory.

      This would be the required level of over achievement to fuck over the Republicans. It may even be the parties first sign of death, if they lose Texas they will either need to reform or die.

        Fuck, I hope so - but I’m not optimistic. When Obama won in 2008 along with the House and a super majority in the Senate, I thought “finally, the death of the Republican party. Surely they’ll be forced to move to the left to have any chance of winning another election.”

        Instead they doubled down, created the TEA Party, and eventually got is to where we are today.
