Presidential Voting In Texas

Posted on the 08 November 2024 by Jobsanger

 
The election left no doubt that Texas, despite Democratic hopes, is still a bright red state. Donald Trump carried the state over Kamala Harris by a whopping 14 point margin. While I wish the outcome had been different, I can accept those results. Voters have the right to vote as they want.
But I am very disappointed in another statistics. Out of 18,623,931 registered voters in the state, only 59% bothered to cast a vote. About 41% of Texas voters couldn't be bothered to take a little time to vote!
Texas has always been a low voter turnout state. But that's no excuse. That 41% of non-voters should be ashamed of themselves!
