    In 2016, Clinton wasn’t that far behind Trump. She only needed 5% more of the registered voters to vote for her (~810,000 votes) and, in 2020, Biden was even closer needing ~3.7% more of the registered voters to vote for him (~630,000 votes).

    If you want to avoid the line, go during the first 2 weeks! Polls open Oct 21-Nov 1, with one final day to vote on Nov 5. Polls will be open at least 9 hours the first week and at least 12 hours the second week. We were the first state to have an early voting period, so take advantage of it, there’s hardly ever a line more than 5-10 minutes during the first two weeks.

    Check voter registration, important election dates, deadlines for registration, polling locations and hours, and more at www.votetexas.gov

    Edit: spelling

    Also, don’t forget that Biden received more votes in TX than NY. We have a strong blue presence, don’t be left behind make sure to vote this October/November! There’s many more offices, such as State Supreme Court seats, All US Reps, all TX reps, 15 state Senators, Ted Cruz, and many more positions at stake!

        We were so close to getting rid of him in 2018. Only 215,000 votes! Hopefully with this being a presids trial election year, more Dems will make it to the polls and we can kick him out!
