Happening here in Texas too. Young voter turnout has been massive, some of the highest in the country, as over half a million people below 30 have voted in Texas so far.
We already blew away the early voting totals from previous years and are 80% through to the 2016 statewide voting total with 6 days of early voting left to go + election day itself. Many people are saying that Abbot's attempt to limit mail-in voting through the one box per county rule has backfired and galvanized the youth to vote in-person during early voting. They have already collected over 1 million votes in Harris alone with no slowdown. To put it into perspective, in 2016 Harris brought in around 1.3 million votes total. There are still over a million registered voters left that can vote in that county alone.
I think when 2018 came and Beto landed within 5% of Cruz, it was a wake up call to many people. We, for the longest time, still had people that think "Why vote? It's not like Texas will ever be blue." and then Beto proved how close we actually were to a flip, and those people are now ready to drop the hammer. Clinton was down by 13 points here in every poll of 2016, and now Biden actually LEADS by +1.
Wish us luck guys.
