Imagine picking up your phone and Oprah is on the other line. Would you freak out or what? I'm not sure what I would do, but having a powerhouse like Oprah encouraging me to vote would definitely be an influence.
That's exactly what she's doing. The media mogul is literally making cold calls to Texas residents encouraging them to get out and vote. Oprah teamed up with Beto O'Rourke's Powered by People org. for this effort. If you recall O'Rourke was once a presidential candidate.
The unfortunate part is that Oprah's first caller said that on a scale of 1-10 he was at zero when it came to early voter readiness. Imagine how many other people who feel that way. Ugh ... make sure you register and vote and you can vote early too!
