Texas Swing State???

http://thedailybanter.com/2016/10/texas-swing-state/

I came across this article last week and it really grabbed my attention.  Since Texas hasn't voted Democrat since 1980, this could be the first time us millenials see our very own Lone Star State turn blue!  I do not consider myself a republican or a democrat, but I believe it would be HUGE to see Texas vote Democrat this election.

"...while it is supposedly easier for everyone eligible to actually vote now, unless they actually go out and cast their ballot none of this means anything."

This line from the aforementioned article also really grabbed me.  I am registered to vote and plan to vote early this week.  While I admit I am constantly torn between arguments similar to the one in this article and the fact that the electoral college's votes are the only ones that really matter, voting can't hurt right?  And it was something K. Stone mentioned in class one day that I have tended to draw on when conflicted about this issue--she referred to a past presidential election, I believe when it was between Bush & Gore, when even though the popular vote was disregarded we were able to look at those votes to see what the popular vote actually was.  I'm not exactly sure why, but I feel like it's important to have those votes to look back on.

SO GET OUT THERE AND VOTE PEOPLE!!!
