Changed my voter registration to Texas

I am military and for the last decade I have been voting absentee as a Virginia voter. I like to think that I am part of the reason Virginia has been blue in the last 3 POTUS elections as well as other Virginia elections

I have been stationed in Texas for a little over a year and finally decided to become a Texas resident and changed my registration. Hopefully my Virginia luck can continue here. I would love to vote Cruz out of office.

I am a little disappointed that one of the Castro brothers didn’t run for Senate. And I do not know much about O’Rouke.

He has a site up, read about him when you get a chance. Pretty impressive politician. He held town halls in the districts of republican reps that were ducking their voters, and took all questions good and bad.

You are making up for the loss of my vote.

I moved from Texas to Florida so I'll be casting my formerly Texas Democrat vote in Florida's 23rd...
