That is a BFD, for sure.

Beto is up by 4 in Tarrant County. Tarrant is the last red metropolitan area in Texas, and it has been purple the last 3 elections; city of Fort Worth has been blue.


Voter registration has been through the roof all year, with new young voters and......
Women who have never bothered are registering and are ready to vote this Roevember. These are people who are not being surveyed because they are so new on the voting registry and have never voted before. They are the X factor for certain.

This college tour he just finished has the college kids fired up. The crowds are phenomenal on these campuses. The volunteer coordinators at these events are training more volunteers to go out and blockwalk to get out the vote. Up until the 11th, his team was also registering voters on those campuses.

It is said that Texas is not a red state, it is a non voting state. Rs tend to vote, Ds not always. Average across the board turnout is 45%. Turnout is everything.
