More Texans than ever are registered and ready to vote in the upcoming Nov. 8 election. New numbers released today show that a record 15 million Texas voters signed up to cast ballots in the election next month that will determine who the next president is — as well as decide officeholders throughout the state, preliminary state estimates show.

I hope they will all turn out to vote, and will vote for Trump.

Yep! I’d be a tad worried! It’s bad out here with the illegals and Muslims! And I’m serious!

Trump will carry Texas but there are democrat
pockets around the landscape.

Yep. Here in the neighboring state to the west of Texas, where illegal aliens are encouraged by the State Legislature and most county clerks to vote, there are record levels of last minute registrations...
And my guess is that 90% of them will vote for hillary.

I see no reason to celebrate all these last minute registrations, ESPECIALLY in border states.

Yep. All registered as Democrats during the last month at any one of the taco trucks easily found on every corner. Sheila Jackson Lee has been on Houston local news non-stop trying to get “her people” to register and vote.

Lots of judges running. Hopefully no new areas will turn blue. We’ll see.

I will be working in the nations second largest County in Houston for Early Vote. Very long hours...I am getting nervous. It will be an inner city site and I will be translating for Spanish speakers. Very Hispanic community but deep-rooted. Pray for me....

You got it magna carta. Might not be a bad idea to carry a copy of the wikileaks regarding the anti-Catholic comments and “needy hispanics” email. Hispanic community is faith based, and let them know what the Dems really think.

The title certainly caught my eye and my succumbing to the click bait but it is misleading. Those weren’t 15 million NEW voters, they were the total voter registration in the state.......

In other news, Texas election officials have determined that 4 of the 16 million registered voters are illegal Mexicans and other illegal foreign nationals.

One of those new Texas voters is a friend of mine voting for the first time in his 60+ years. Voting Trump.

Only in Republican areas. In Democrat areas a judge will order polls to remain open until midnight.

All the conservative Texans were already registered. All the North Eastern and Californian transplants may not have been. All the millions of illegals, moslems and other invaders can be a concern.

Thank you kindly, friend. We can always use some very good news like that.

Registration deadline is now past in TEXAS, so we go with what we have (except for the Democrats who will register all day long regardless).
