    The less policies that target hispanics from voting, the purpler texas gets. My sister lives in Dallas and the support for Harris in the cities is colossal right now. They’re a democrat president and a governor away from being swing, but those are hard to fight for.

      I’m hoping all the people who have moved there from CA these past couple of years can make a difference, too

        I live in Texas and one thing with all the people moving from CA is that they are mostly red voters. A lot of them were willing to move here because they felt it would better represent them while the blue people stayed. At least this is the sentiment that I’ve seen expressed from the people that moved here

          Oregon here, so many family and coworkers have moved to texas and florida because of “liberal politics.” They hated the covid lockdown and want to open carry guns (which ironically is legal here).

          People forget that California is massive. It has more R voters than most red states. It just has more D voters in the aggregate.
