previous segment, a texas native. ezra, one of the things the editorial acknowledged is that beto o rourke is running behind ted cruz in the polls and that it s possible that the houston chronicle is not picking a win they are time. but what is your reading of what would need to happen on the ground for the o rourke campaign to win? lawrence, you said it earlier, i was three years old when texas elected the last democratic senator in 1988, so it s a tough state for democrats. that said, the campaign that beto has been running has been absolutely incredible. indivisible did a big launch 100 days before the election for our electoral work, we re working with groups all over the country to run canvasses and phone banks and i did a road trip visiting with groups who were working to elect beto who is an endorsed candidate for indivisible. i was in beaumont, texas, on friday night with groups of people that were doing what evan just described. it was a burst of civic engagement, people w
georgia, ohio, and kansas, all involved in these controversies, and many of them running for office themselves, you know, it does get rigged. and i think the way that what ezra said is right. people can t let that put them off, but people need to get back. and what s the best way to fight back? by figuring out how to get to the voting place. reporting that in a single day more than half a million people, 8% of georgia s registered voters were cut from the voter rolls for an estimated 107,000 of those people their removal from the voter rolls was triggered not because they moved or died or went to prison but rather because they decided not to vote in prior elections. and ezra, that is your right to decide not to vote. and purging those rolls has never been it s never happened before that if you miss an election you will surrender your right to vote.
