At every turn, the Texas republicons continue to make it harder for us to vote.

Well, guess what Abbott WE WILL VOTE THEM OUT!

Demographics are not in their favor they could try as hard as they want but it's never going to change the fact that it's going to flip eventually

Bury Abbott so deep in paper, he'll need the Baby Jessica rescue team to get out...

Wherever the one remaining county site is, I'll be handing in my all-Democratic ballot. Nothing---certainly not a dirty, desperate little piss ant like Abbott---is going to deprive me of casting a vote against trump.

My county of almost 2M people has dozens - my town alone has at least 3. But then we don't have many Republicans in the state - probably because it's easy to vote.

Methinks Abbot and the GOP are getting scared.

we got rid of gerrymandering years ago. IMO, that’s what broke the Repub Party here in Cali.

Hi, Retro, I’m in the OC.

Have lived here since parents moved from Texas in ‘55. This red bastion finally went purple a few election cycles back. But for the first time in my life I got a Dem Congressman in 2018, Gil Cisneros. Whoopie!

Even here, where the GOP still has a finger hold, especially in county gov, we have over 100 drop boxes and dozens of early voting centers where you can also drop off votes for a population just over 3 million.
