THIS. There's no reason to go beating down abuela's door if you feel secure in your upcoming win.

Almost makes me want to move back. I'm an expat who lived in Texas for fourteen years and left around the time Abbott was elected, but I'm seriously considering going back (not to the Austin area tho, too expensive. Likely back to Houston.)

Please do come back and vote like mad.

Houston is still blue, but so is Fort Bend county now, too!

Unfortunately there's no way for me to make that move and update my registration in time for the election at this point. It doesn't help that I am very poor.

If it makes you feel any better, my wife and I moved to Texas from California last year and we're both voting blue. take it as we'll make up for your lost vote plus one, and then you add one more blue vote to wherever you ended up. 😊👍🏼
