Even Hillary almost flipped the state. If only 5% more of the registered voters had cast a vote for her, she would have won! The problem is that people just won't go to the polls. We were the first state to have an early voting period (since 1980) but people just won't take 15 minutes to stop by a polling station on their way somewhere. There's never a line during the 2 weeks weeks of early voting.
Check voter registration and polling location/hours (won't be posted until October) at www.votetexas.gov
Polls open Oct 21-Nov 1, with one final day to vote on Nov 5. Don't procrastinate and you won't have to wait in line!
