Beto ORourke and his band of volunteers are entering the next phase of their effort to help Democrats win the Texas House.
Members of the political action committee, Powered by People, have met their goal of contacting more than 350,000 Democrats who recently moved to Texas but have not registered to vote here. Its part of a broader plan to try to register about 1.4 million new residents who voted for Democrats in their former states.
They identified the new residents by examining change of address forms and matching them with voter records from their home states.
ORourke, the former El Paso congress member and Democratic presidential candidate, says getting 500,000 of those new Texans to vote for Democratic candidates in November would enhance the chances of Democrats winning the House and former Vice President Joe Biden defeating President Donald Trump.
