I live in Texas, so I absolutely do vote. More Texans voted for Biden than New Yorkers in 2020, when we had 66% turnout.

Paxton himself said Biden would have won Texas if he hadn’t shut down mail-in voting.

So I reject the idea that Texas is a lost cause. If we were, Republicans wouldn’t still be trying so hard to suppress our voice. If we could just get the turnout we would win the state-wide offices. Then we could tackle the gerrymandering and have a representative legislature. We just have to actually get out and vote, instead of the craptacular 2022 midterm <50% turnout that saw Abbott, Patrick, and Paxton all reelected.
