The number of people under the age of 30 who have already early voted in Texas, never having voted at all before (137,762), exceeds the TOTAL number of first time voters in any other state.

Obviously, we don’t know which candidates these new voters who have never voted before are supporting, but the odds are really good that Republican Senator Ted Cruz has not inspired a wave of young first-time voters under age 30 to head to the polls in Texas. It is a safe guess that the young first-time voters who are turning out are doing so for Beto O’Rourke.

3. And none of these young people

Are sitting home answering a land line when polled.

10. I doubt that any are getting polled at all, cell, online, ect.

I got a cell call from a relative today, did not recognize his number, did not answer. He texted me, I replied and added him to me cell contact list. The point is that most cell users don't answer strange numbers or respond to popup texts that they don't recognize as someone they know.

4. And yet we keep being told

that young people aren't voting. I don't know who the pollsters are talking to, but clearly they're not talking to actual voters.

13. Unless pollsters are calling cell phones

They are most definitely not talking to people under 30.

I'd imagine that its gonna be this way nationwide. I also believe that it also could lead to a cry from the conspiracy nuts (aka Republicans) at how the Democrats stole the election because all of the polling showed Republicans not losing so badly because of all of the first time Democratic voters.

Although I could be completely wrong about how the companies do the polling, and they very well could be calling cell phones.

5. Across the country, early voting is breaking all-time records. That's great, the votes are in....

....long before the "final push" by republicans and the "spray tan cray man"* went dark a week or so ago.

But don't get too over-confident, we have to GOTV for the people who haven't already voted.

7. Proof that he's the right candidate and the time is right!

Conor Lamb showed us the same thing in Pennsylvania.

8. I would bet that your guess is good.

With Trump stirring up hate against Hispsnics, I hope that Hispanics in Texas that normally vote republican have had second thoughts, they really are next in line for Trump's hate and the rightwing White people that are true Trump believers only use like minded Hispanics as voted, hopefully they realize that.

11. My 18 year old daughter is one of them

Go Beto!

[applegrove]

12. Go Daughter! Go Daughter! Go Daughter!

16. My 19-yo too

I helped my 19-year-old get her absentee ballot to vote in her first election. She is a sensible liberal like her proud Dad!

14. Just voted today as well for Beto

Never once polled or anything and I'm 28

[applegrove]

15. Good for you.

[vercetti2021]

17. High five

So far I'm 100% in voting since 2008. And mind you I voted today tendonitis in my foot. I limped all through the pain. Was brutal but gotta tough it out

[applegrove]

18. Yes I misread when you said you had not been polled. You rock. And bring

friends the next time you have to hobble to the voting booth.

[vercetti2021]

19. I took my friends to vote last week

I was offering free rides for those who wanted to vote. All for Beto. Figured I'd wait to vote near the end. Poor decision on my end.

[applegrove]

20. You did good.

[vercetti2021]

21. Thank you

23. My Cousin Just Returned From A Week In Texas And Told Me..........

................that the entire time he was there, he saw almost no Ted Cruz signs or bumper stickers, but signs/stickers for Beto were EVERYWHERE. He said it was easily 4 to 1 in favor of Beto. I know that's all anecdotal, but it's still a good sign.

FYI, he was in the Dallas/Ft. Worth/Arlington area.

24. Wow!

25. That's awesome!!!

Beto!!!!!
