we can see the little front part where it says register to vote.
No, I think I'm gonna do it
somewhere out here because I want the foot traffic.
There we go. We are over here
at Cine El Rey, downtown McAllen.
It's about to be seven o'clock.
It's the last day to register to vote,
and so we're out here, making sure that
everybody in the community has an opportunity.
Gonna be here until midnight.
This is one of the hardest places in the country
to organize.
What works in other places
absolutely does not work here.
I mean, the apathy is disgusting,
and it's real.
-So real. -Yeah.
I mean, I hope I'm wrong. I hope--
I'm hopeful. I think there is already--
I think there's already
a wave of something, a small ripple--
-I think that there is a ripple. -A small ripple.
Y'all registered to vote?
Uh, no.
No? You don't wanna register to vote? Today's the last day.
-Girls: No. -All right, thank you.
Salas: Hey, are you guys registered to vote? It only takes two minutes!
-Today's the last day. -(man speaks)
Okay.
-I know they're lying. -They're lying, of course.
Martinez: Are you all registered to vote?
Today's the last day to register to vote.
-You registered? -It takes two minutes.

Man (laughs): I want to drink a beer.
Salas: Today's the last day! If you know any friends,
tell them to come register!

Beto: This state should lead the way,
not only in ending the prohibition of marijuana...
-(cheering) -...but expunging the records for everyone
arrested for possession of a substance
that is legal in most of the rest of the country.
-(cheering continues) -We can lead on that as well!
Amy: When I'm on the road with Beto,
we're totally energized by everybody else's enthusiasm.
That you're like, how can we not win this?
We're gonna do it.
And so, that's when you wonder, you know,
are you in a bubble when you're out there talking with folks
and feeling that energy and, you know,
what are our chances and are we gonna be able to pull this off?
Amy: Hey, guys!
-(chattering) -Whoop! Come on. I'm sorry. Here. Come over here.

Amy: How was school?
Ulysses: Good.
-Amy: Anything interesting? -Ulysses: No.
-Molly: Uh-uh. -Amy: Nothing?
Molly: No.
Amy: On Friday, and I'll be back before you get out of school.
Ulysses: Usually, it's my dad who isn't here very much,
but now, like, my mom's gone probably, like, three days a week now.
And so for half of the week, there's, like, no one there.
Then can I just go to Paco's house?
Amy: To sleep over?
I think you're gonna stay with Meemaw.
(sighs)
Ulysses: I'm ready for it to be over.
Zack Malitz: Okay. Tuesday, November 6th
is the day the world ends.
-(laughter) -There is no day after that.
What we have to do if we wanna win
is we need to turn out
a million more voters than would vote in a normal midterm.
There is nothing more effective
than person to person contact,
at increasing voter turnout. And so, if we...
tap quietly on the door
and then run away,
-we are not gonna net a lot of votes. -(laughter)
We have to get the doors open.
-If someone is in the house... -(applause)
...we have to get them to come out!

I love that you're applauding for that!
That is the best thing!
Elections are a matter of life and death.
This is possibly the most important thing

How would you handle that, what's going on right now?
I don't think that we need to respond with paranoia and fear,

We're bigger, we're better than that.
Drama unfolding south of the border tonight.
Thousands of migrants marching north through Mexico,

Newsman: President Trump today tweeting
"Criminals and unknown Middle Easterners are mixed in."
And guess what? We're not allowing them in our country.
Michael: A lot of these are gonna be criminals on the streets.
What's to assume that they're all automatically criminals?
You assume it because you have to.
-Why? -Because you cannot assume it any other way.
-Why? I don't understand that reasoning. -Let me put it to you this way.
I look at America as my home.
Which means if somebody came busting down my door over here,
and 15 or 20 people walked in here and says,
"I'm coming in. I wanna live in your house.

your news source is. That might also have something to do with

Just because I watch Fox News,

We need it to continue at some rate.
Me, too. I'm still hoping it.
For all of those who are still in line,
there were a couple polling places that stayed open late
in Harris County in the Houston area. Stay in line.
That polling place will stay open as long as it takes
for the last person in that line
to get to the front of the line and cast their ballot.
Beto: Thanks for coming out and voting!
