The South spent 135 years keeping voters home. Early voting says they’re done staying there.

“For 6 years I’ve been saying the same thing. #Texas is not a red state. It’s a state where people don’t vote. #Republicans held on to power by making it as hard as possible & counting on the rest of us to stay home.” @lonestarleft.com 🤞🏼 no one staying home! open.substack.com/pub/lonestar...
3.7 million Texans have already voted, and the electorate looks nothing like 2022

“Ken Paxton is counting on you being too busy. Greg Abbott is counting on you being too tired. Dan Patrick is counting on you thinking your vote doesn’t matter in Texas. Prove all three of them wrong. Get your ass to the polls.”
In Texas, every time turnout goes up, Republican margins go down. Every time.

The voters nobody can model are showing up, and they’re not wearing red hats.

If you care about Texas, follow local folks talking about the election, especially @lonestarleft.com. Also, vote.
Texans are breaking records while Abbott’s handpicked SOS breaks the reporting.

Day 1 early voting will double 2022, and Republicans are sending Trump to Lubbock.
The wave isn’t just blue, it’s also progressive.
19 million registered voters, a 15-point door-knocking gap, and a Republican base that won’t commit to Paxton.

Bo French agreed to debate @jon_rosenthaltx. Now he says he never did. That makes ZERO Texas Republican statewide candidates willing to debate. If he won’t show up to earn your vote, he won’t show up for you. Early voting starts Oct 19: harrisdemocrats.org/vote #txlege

Speaking of early voting, that will be the focus of this No Kings protest happening this Saturday... including a number of events in Texas. I hope this will motivate Texans including non-voters that didn't show up in 2022 to the polls this year once early voting begins this Monday. www.nokings.org

Early votes, crosstabs, and the 9.6 million Texans who decide everything in 2022 by not showing up.

NEW: Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger just revealed stunning early voting numbers ahead of the midterms. 450,000 Virginians have ALREADY voted, compared to just over 200,000 at this point in 2022. @macfarlanenews.bsky.social reports.
The only consequence left is the ballot.

I just finished watching this interview with @ginafortexas.bsky.social One thing is for sure, she is not playing the middle. I'm excited to vote for her!
Texas oil money helped buy Trump's government. 27 days to do something about it.
You know, I have a History degree, and the two things I am passionate about are history and policy, and I especially love when they overlap. So sometimes I’m talking about random history, and I know it's relevant, but I wonder if it's unnecessary or boring. What do you think in this case?

After an appeals court overturned Crystal Mason's conviction in 2024, Tarrant County DA Phil Sorrells continued to prosecute her. His choice has become a flash point in his reelection race this fall against Democrat Tiffany Burks.
