Even assuming that the Rethuglies continue to have a lock on the state legislature, just how far do you think that Texas Republicans would have gotten if enough people had turned out to vote in statewide Democratic offices?

Let's use the last election as a hypothetical example: no Governor Greg Abbot, no Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick, no Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, the Texas Supreme Court yanked out of the hands of the Texas GOP. Yeah, voting DOES make a difference--even for Texas progressives.
