Prairie View A&M University students walked out of class and marched to the polling station, chanting, "Go vote!"
Students there recently won a lawsuit allowing them to vote early and to vote at the student center on campus. https://abcn.ws/2DpP5fe

I have someone in Texas sporting a Beto Tshirt. I was just telling him how GQ he looked.

This is why Republicans hate lawyers - unless of course it's the Brendan Sullivan types who are there to cover their kleptocratic butts.
Good on A&M students. You show them.

that particular college has a lo-o-o-o-o-o-ong history of those kind of shenanigans making it harder for them to vote.

A&M is a great school; my father once taught there as a visiting professor.
They do however have a dark side: Aggie "sit back and enjoy it" Williams was for many years its de facto potentate.

Hope this inspires other college students to do the same.

I believe made it so that students can't even use their student ID card to vote, but gun/hunter ID cards they allow. They are such assholes.
