@velshi.com Beto lost to Cruz by 219K votes in 2018. 7,421,602 registered voters DID NOT VOTE in that election. TX has long been a non-voting state. Especially for Dems. (I’ve lived here since ‘85)With the real possibility of having Paxton in senate, EVERY effort MUST be made to get people to polls
