Texas Democratic Party Doing Outreach to 1 Million Unregistered Voters This Week
The Texas Democratic Party on Monday launched a week-long scramble to contact 1 million unregistered voters across the state and get them onto the rolls before November.
The effort is the largest such outreach by the TDP to date and part of its bid to shift the state blue, or at least purple, this election cycle.
Texas Democrats estimate that there are 5 million-plus unregistered voters in the state, many of whom are younger and people of color — both groups likely to vote blue, assuming they make it to the polls.
"If they vote, we're pretty sure they're going to vote Democrat, so registering those voters is key to our path to victory," said Luke Warford, director of voter expansion for the TDP. "This is the biggest week-long push we've had."
The party is calling and texting unregistered voters and giving them prompts to go to a website where they can request a voter registration form. Texas is one of just 11 states that doesn't have online voter registration, and the pandemic has limited the party's ability to reach voters face-to-face.
