Republican Senator Ted Cruz is facing a well-financed, polished Democrat opponent named Beto O’Rourke. Even in ruby red Texas, if Cruz wants to keep his seat, his supporters will need to match the Left’s enthusiasm. Beto has proven extremely popular with minority groups and young people throughout the Lone Star State.
That said, Beto’s campaign has taken another hit today as they were caught allegedly trying to get illegal immigrants out to vote in Texas, per the Daily Wire:
The Beto O’Rourke campaign in Texas, where O’Rourke is running for the Senate against incumbent GOP Sen. Ted Cruz, is denying that they are responsible for sending a text message to voters on Wednesday asking for “volunteers to help transport undocumented immigrants” to the polls. The campaign acknowledged that the text from the campaign’s text messaging platform was legitimate but protested the campaign did not authorize the message, according to The New York Times.
As the Times noted, “If Mr. O’Rourke’s campaign were indeed helping undocumented immigrants vote, it would be a brazen violation of election law.”
The text message read, “Hi, it’s Patsy here w/ Beto for Texas. Our records indicate that you’re a supporter. We are in search of volunteers to help transport undocumented immigrants to polling booths so that they will be able [to] vote. Would you be able to support this grassroots effort?”
