It was a little under half of registered voters in TX, but that’s still not good.
In 2022, there was about 21.8 million in the voting age population, 17.6 million were registered to vote, and only 8.1 cast a ballot.
In 2020 the numbers were 21.6 million voting age population, 17 million registered, and 11.3 million ballots.
If we hope to affect change in the country, people need to get out there and vote! Polls are open in TX for 12 hours for an entire week, but we still have people waiting to vote on the last day when there’s a line.
Driving passed polling places and having lived in most of the metro areas of TX, I’ve never seem or heard of a line more than 15-20 minutes in the 2 weeks of early voting. It would be super beneficial too if we had momentum at the local level to push for some of the polling places to be open until 10 PM as is allowed by law.
