It’s been a bucket list wish to live to see Texas turn purple or blue.
There are so many newly registered voters here. Anecdotally, several years ago here, Hispanics for the first time, made up a majority of public school students in Texas. Today, that number is 72%. Which portends well for the Democratic Party both in-state and nationally. As those Hispanic students at age 18 will vote predominantly Dem. The push to register and vote has been strong in both the age and ethnic cohorts in our state (I tend to watch a lot of soccer/futbol on Hispanic language channels). From these indicators? I finally have a real hope that Texas will ride a wave of change in 11 days.
Everything polling-wise says ‘dead heat’.
Yet I think there’s a swell of young, newly registered voters-- that are off-grid to pollsters-- that have gone unaccounted for in Texas polling.
