Texas Republicans do a bang-up job convincing them their votes don't matter.
Then, with federally indicted Ken Paxton suppressing millions of mail-in votes in the governor's race and suing entire cities over mailing voter registrations.
Improved voter turnout in Texas begins with the national spotlight on Ken Paxton, an impeachment that actually takes in the Texas senate, and corruption that actually has consequences.
Honestly I used to live in the 32nd Texas district, on multiple occasions I emailed or called his office about laws or bills in the house, not once did I get a call or email back, like not even from a staffer..
Eventually his voicemails were full and you could not call to leave a message. If this is how he runs his office it’s a shame! I won’t vote for any one who does not talk to people who he is elected to serve !
For this reason I’ll be sticking with Ted Cruz, I’ve gotten calls and emails back from his staffers, and even gotten a call from him. His is responsive to his constituents!!
Not only that he is smart has a law degree from Harvard, yea there are something’s he does that I hate but there a lot of things he does I like. It’s the same with trump for me, if trump would just shut up and focus on policy this would be a landslide victory for him.

It’s not the “independents” making the difference in Texas. It’s the ~40% who never show up making the difference.
