This is what I wrote. LWVAA's First Vote training was a success! Each year, more than 15,000 people turn 18 in Travis County, and many of them will turn 18 during their senior year in high school.

The League strongly condemns Texas's harmful new maps, which were designed to silence voters and rig elections. Texans deserve fair maps drawn to reflect their communities — not partisan lines manipulated to entrench power. www.lwv.org/newsroom/pre...

Democracy is like a group pizza order. If you don’t show up, you’re getting anchovies. Or pineapple. Or worse... whatever they picked. Texas had more no-shows than voters for the winning presidential candidate in 2024. Don’t let silence be your topping. 🗳️ #VoteTexas #TexasElections

Voter fraud? Girl… where? Over 94 million votes were cast in Texas between 2004 and 2020. Only 534 resulted in confirmed voter fraud cases. That’s 0.0006%. ✨ The real issues? Voter suppression, low turnout, and disinformation. Let’s stay focused and fight for a democracy that works for everyone.
