53% of the ~45% who vote at least (and admittedly probably a lot of texans that don't)

All of the ones that don't vote have shit for brains, or, like, a job I guess. Voting should be compulsory and on a national holiday.

I had to renew my TX license due to expiration, without which can't vote. Renewed it October 9th. I finally got it in the mail last week. My mother? She renewed her at the end of January. She got hers the day before I got mine.

I can't say for certain they deliberately slowed renewals just before elections, but boy it sure is curious.

Vote by mail and mandatory registration ensures that everyone can vote easily. We know it works; it’s just that a certain powerful group prevents it because the actual will of the people prevents them from getting elected.
