Here’s a helluva thing: Texas electoral votes might actually be in play this year. The chances are a little slim right now–FiveThirtyEight puts Obama’s chances of winning the state at 11%–but it’s likely, given current trends, that that chance is going to get larger, and if Obama somehow does manage to win Texas, it’s just over.
None of this is gonna happen, my blue-dot-in-a-red-sea friends, if you and I don’t get out there and vote. If you’re not registered, you’re officially fucked (guess I should’ve posted this yesterday). However, if you are registered, even if you moved within the same county, you can still legally vote. Even if you moved to a different county, you may be able to vote a “limited ballot”. You can go to a polling station in your district and vote in person as early as October 20th, and if you need to you can also vote early by mail.
But VOTE! VOTE! VOTE, DAMMIT, VOTE!
Unless, of course, you plan to vote for McCain, in which case please stay the hell home and drink some PBR.
