Isn't the point of EV so you don't have to wait in line?

The main point is to increase voter participation. I imagine plenty of people have walked away on election day due to a sizable line.

It is almost as if they want voting to be hard so that those who really need government will wait in line while those who are satisfied and happy decide they are just not going to wait that long.

It is a scam no doubt about it. With 4 - 5 times the population over a 100 year peroiod, yet the number of polling places is still the same.

dont think I saw another person under 60

Same at the Cinco Ranch Library. There were maybe 2-3 that weren't retiree age. One of the guys working said to me as I was walking in, "Vote blue, through and through." I couldn't help it and said, "I'm not a retard, sorry."

During this first week, it's probably 70/30 (D)/(R) turnout. The mailers from the "Texas Transgender Student Union" in Meadows Place, TX have started being delivered today. It includes a "Texas Trans & LGBTQ+ Student Resource Guide," targeted at least at high school students. I'm sure the timing is no coincedence.

What doesn't happen in Texas anymore is straight party line voting with one checkbox. They did away with that.
in 2018

Beto lost statewide but straight-ticket voting cost Harris County Republicans

Would be a shame if some right wing org sent these out to prevent the left from hiding behind some bullshìt moderate platform tailored for election season

A major component of Abbott's strategy was getting people to sign up on the Abbott app

your contacts and then the Abbott campaign would send them reminders that seem to come from you but the Abbott campaign was actually doing it


I easily got twenty text messages today, so they're driving out the vote


it wont last forever

They're underway? We start tomorrow. Wonder why we wouldn't just start early voting on a Monday.

Who the frick got you to believe this shite?

Most voters are dumb and just drown out the educated. Get out of vote programs are just to allow the media to control who gets elected.

Big reason why democracy sucks.

I don't consider being enslaved by the 51% to be a valid form of government.
