Don't know if this has been posted previously but couldn't find it and felt it was important.

1. A couple of groups are going to school districts to register students

There are a couple of groups in my county who are taking deputy voter registrars to schools to register students. We have members on the school boards of these districts who help this process but it is not easy

2. Great effort! The students should be aware too, that they can go down to the ...

local elections board and register too (I'm assuming that this is so, it is in STLMO where I'm at).

Thanks for posting and take care.

3. I sent this to my county chair and asked what we can do about it.

I wish all the Texans on DU would do the same. We can make a difference.

4. The League of Women voters are active on this in my county

Call the League

In addition, the Texas Civil Rights Project has a staff person working on this

6. Used to be better, Mrs. BB05 and son went to Richards rally in '94

She took him out of school to see the Governor's rally the week before the election. When they had a chance to meet Ann, she told her it was his 18th birthday.

She asked if he was registered and what he would do to celebrate. He replied that he was but wasn't sure what he was going to do.

Her reply? "Go vote" and gave him a big hug. How I miss that woman.

Election day was wonderful, but that night was crushing.

7. One of the myriad of great things about Ann was that she was really a

Texan, unlike the pipsqueak with the fake accent who succeeded her. Hoping we will finally begin to unravel the hell scrub and his repukican white guys have put us through for over 20 years.

8. It turns out some of those maps are erronous

My husband is a high school principal in San Antonio.

Those reports are based on voter registration forms orders from the TX SOS. If an outside group comes in and provides the registration, the outside group provides the forms. (Hence they aren't ordered from SOS)

I know the groups that have gone in and which schools they have been to. Those schools are showing that they are not registering students. About 90% of high schools in San Antonio have outside groups coming in.

I do think charter schools and a few stray public schools are not registering students.

One woman was very upset, started panicking and wanted to barge into high schools and start registering students. That is when I did my research and was able to talk her out of her crazy idea. (Schools just don't let random adults barge in!!!...Registration groups are vetted)
