OT: Beto O’Rourke drew a nice crowd at Texas A&M
The 750 person capacity of Rudder Theatre was reached by students before the rally’s 10:30 a.m. start time. Event organizers announced shortly before O’Rourke came on stage that 500 students were still waiting outside Rudder Theater for admittance to the event even after capacity was reached.
Along these lines: I’ve not seen a link to a story about it, but I’m seeing on Twitter that Brazoria County (where A&M is located) at first opened, then closed, an early-voting spot on campus.
Though A&M is not as conservative as it once was, it’s still no Berkeley. So all of this is more than a little interesting.
