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

    Gonna repeat what I said in a different comment:

    Encourage people to try to vote early everywhere. Texas has early in person voting from Oct 21 – Nov 1

    If you vote early, you’ll have time to come back again in case there’s some last minute changes to the polling places open or some other problem. Plus you also don’t then have to worry about something like being sick on election day
