Texas voter registration skyrocketing: "It's almost like we added Connecticut"

Turning Texas BLUE

This is one of those short diaries where the author basically writes a few words and suggests you just click on the damn link. 

Here is the damn link.

I’ve said a few times that Trump is the last Republican that Texas will elect in my lifetime. I figured they wouldn’t go blue till 2024, but maybe I underestimated the blue wave (and devoted Democrat volunteers). 

By the numbers:

A million new voters in a year and a half, almost 2 mil from 2016. A third are under 25 and a lot are Latinx (who comprise 38% of the population). The GOP won TX by 16% in 2012, then Trump beat Clinton by only 9%.

With a shitload of new voters and anticipated record Dem turnout, we have a great chance to take the Lone Star state!
