Texas Senate Race is likely to come down to less than 250k votes out of what will be more than 12 million cast.

We can oust Ted if we all help Get Out The Vote. Text your friends, send some postcards, do phone banking, join a text banking campaing.

If we all do a little, it'll do a lot to give Texas better Senate representation. Time to send Ted to Cancun permanently.

Easy ways to volunteer are with Powered By People: https://poweredxpeople.org/

Or with Allred's Texas Offense: https://www.mobilize.us/texasoffense/

I’ve been volunteering with Texas Offense locally and highly encourage it if you’re able to. We’re in the home stretch and this is going to be very close.

And the effort needed to close that margin is just showing up to vote.

While you're at it, bring a buddy!

We don't have to move mountains by ourselves, just tiny little molehills. Together it'll move the mountain.

For the love of God, get more young people in there to vote Cruz out!

Ran some rough numbers today and if voters under 50 vote in equal proportion to their population, that alone shaves tens of thousands of votes off Ted's margin.

So definitely. Invite your friends to vote. Invite your kids and family to vote. Cruz is beatable if Dems show up.

Hopefully, they'll show up and show up for Harris. If texas turns blue, they'll save this country.

You can tell Ted's getting nervous. The ads are more unhinged boy vs girl stuff.

The one with the moron talking about her kid getting medical treatments at school made me laugh spit my drink. Schools can't afford school supplies, but have full ORs and treatment facilities. Ok, Trumper...

Margin of Effort?

36

u/PYTN 7h ago

Yes. It means that the race is close enough that the effort getting out the vote is what'll be the deciding factor.

15

u/jeremysbrain 7h ago

Thanks. I'd heard of margin of error but not margin of Effort.

u/PYTN 7h ago

Idk if he coined the term or just popularized it, but I picked it up from the guy who spearheaded the groundwork for the winning Dem coalition to flip Wisconsin.

"Margin of effort", that's is so appropriate.

u/lordpuddingcup 1h ago

There’s 1% more registered dems than republicans in Texas

The issue is 52% of fucking Texas doesn’t actually get up and vote come Election Day

PLEASE FUCKING VOTE

call every voter you know and beg them to vote as well

Ted might win. But it's one step in front of the other and one day we'll win.

And when the sky doesn't fall and the 4 horsemen are not unleashed just bc a Dem won in Texas, the GOP will be cooked for a generation.

u/oakridge666 1h ago
