Where are the Voters in Texas? Y’all-itics Early Release: November 4, 2022
from Y'all-itics · host WFAA
We are now just days away from the midterms and many Elections Administrators across Texas are asking the same question: where are the voters? Even taking into account this isn’t a Presidential Election driving higher turnout, those running elections just aren’t seeing the numbers they expected. In this early release episode of Y’all-itics, we head all over the state to check the temperatures of those behind the vote. And turnout isn’t the only thing keeping those folks up at night. Because of the current political climate, we’ve discovered many firsts: from de-escalation teams to elections workers being told how to politely end a call with an irate voter. Join us as we travel from north Texas to the Mexico border, the Gulf Coast to central Texas for a snapshot of what’s happened so far in early voting and whether election day could turn into a long night for all of us. Guests Jacquelyn Callanen, Bexar County Elections AdministratorKristin Miles, Bastrop County Elections AdministratorHilda Salinas, Hidalgo County Elections AdministratorBruce Sherbet, Collin County Elections AdministratorClifford Tatum, Harris County Elections Administrator
