Early voting by young people up 500% in Texas and Georgia

In Texas, young voter turnout has increased by more than 508 percent. Early voting rates have almost doubled for African-American and Hispanic voters.  Georgia has seen a turnout increase of 476 percent for young people. African-American voting is up 165 percent and Hispanic turnout is up a striking 571 percent. (And, of course, this is despite voter suppression.)

Regardless of whether Beto O'Rourke or Stacey Abrams win on Tuesday, their campaigns have most certainly contributed to Democrats down the ballot and Democratic party building within their states.
