(1,765 posts)She said she was really surprised at how many people turned out even though it was just constitutional amendments.
The question is HOW to keep up this momentum in Texas and get people to keep going out and voting. We need to flip those seats in 2018!

On edit: Oh...you still had to show a photo ID (even with my official voter ID card, which had been overturned but has been appealed, I guess. You have to show ID, but they can't do recount, no paper trail. Doesn't make any sense. The other thing about my polling place was that it was not wheel chair accessible, which I thought was a big no-no. It was at a large middle school, which has parts that are accessible, but they decided to put the voting machines in the receiving area where the loading dock is located, lifted up 4 feet off the ground with an tiny set of stairs that have two "flights". Dumb.
