(2,710 posts)We live in a small town in Hays County northwest of San Marcos. San Marcos and all along the I-35 corridor trends bluer than the northern and western part of the county. But in 2018, we managed to elect a Democratic county judge and county clerk after a few cycles of being virtually shut out except in San Marcos.
I'm thrilled to hear about the turnout. I'm an LWV of Hays County board member and we have worked our tails off, in new ways, since so many of us are older and we had to be careful of COVID. We've done a lot of collaboration with voting rights groups that work with college students.
We held our six candidates forums virtually, did mobile voter registration events from the trunks of cars, did a lot more on social media and spent money on weekly ads in three community newspapers in the county.
