1. Now......how many will actually go out and vote?

Sorry to be a grumpy old lady but, just because you are registered doesn't mean you will vote.

GOTV!!!!

2. Any chance it will go for Hillary? Lots of Houston registrations as well as Dallas...

...and both are Bush country, and Trump has alienated the Bushes.

8. Beg to differ

I live in Houston and, while the suburbs may go republican the cities of Houston and Dallas will vote for Clinton.

14. Yes. Major Texas Cities are blue

Dallas is blue surrounded by the red suburbs, most other major Texas cities are the same. The Rio Grand Valley is heavily blue. Hope to see the state turn blue one day, more of the city dwellers are moving to the burbs, maybe that may cause a change.

4. I didn't see any stats on party affiliation in the article. Any ideas? nt

[MagickMuffin]

7. We are not allowed by law to ask party affiliation when registering voters

That is probably why there isn't any stats.

12. Ok. Thank you. nt

13. Huh. In Nevada, its suggested but optional

It's just terrible (and darkly hilarious) how many people sign up as "Independent Americans" as opposed to "Nonpartisan." They don't know what "nonpartisan" means, but see the word "independent" and check that box, not realizing no that it was founded (and remains) -- a literal white supremacist political party. Out of thousands of voters registered, I've never seen a single human being sign the form with the IAP purposefully, with any realization whatsoever that it's a party and not actually independent of anything.

5. Hello Texas. Sure is good to see you again. nm

6. Add me to that number

I will be out there making Trump win by one less vote if he wins the state's electoral college votes.

As to the question above about party affiliation, I did not see a place on the form for that when I registered. What I can say is that the San Antonio local news showed donations by zip code and the large cities and the whole Rio Grande Valley donated to Clinton in significant numbers. I can get back with a link but it was on News4sanantonio.com if anyone is curious.

Edit: No link to the map on the website but plenty of anti-Trump sentiment in San Antonio.
