Texas has enacted election laws whose effect is to make urban voters have to wait in long lines to vote, while rural voters can be in and out in 5 minutes.

There is also a strong fatalistic attitude ("the Republicans are going to win anyway").

If you're certain that your vote won't change anything, and you know voting is going to be an ordeal, AND you think Democrats won't help you either..? Then a lot of people will not vote.

Texas cities are majority Dem.
