“‘A state that ranked 50th in terms of ease of voting because of voter suppression is now first in turnout,’ [Beto O’Rourke] said. “This is without the Biden campaign or the national party having spent much at all. This is being done against the most racist, unconstitutional suppression tactics in the country… O’Rourke seems to die a little inside every time he sees Biden return to Pennsylvania or Ohio or Iowa. ‘It’s tough when we see so much being spent on voters in the upper Midwest, who may or may not come back to us,’ he said, ‘when we have the most diverse electorate swinging towards us and they just want to see the respect of the candidate showing up.’ He added, ‘So when you hear the note of frustration from Democrats in the state of Texas, that’s why’” – Former Rep. Beto O’Rourke quoted in Politico story on Texas Democrats.
