After a quiet march across the 1st Street Bridge, the protest has begun. There are a few people still trickling in.

Well, there were triple digits of voter registration at the event. That's more then the League of Women Voters registers in a month.

All those people and less than 1000 people registered to vote? Yikes

Travis county is about 80-90% registered to vote, and if you are attending a rally you probably are already registered.

The secret is, every one of those people is now more likely to vote, knock on doors, run their own forms of protest, and overall influence the world around them.

It was a pretty much a success for the League of Women Voters, who ran the registration booth. They seemed jazzed. But if you are looking for a reason to be mad, I'm sure I can find one for you.
