Local Republican volunteers manned the phones all weekend in Tarrant County where they said they’ll continue calling every last supporter on their lists to encourage them to get out and vote.
The call center was decorated with several signs to hype supporters up about their local and national candidates, but one sitting promptly at the front simply said “Keep it Red” over a picture of Texas.
With poll numbers closer in the Lone Star State than they’ve been in decades, volunteers said it’s important that they mobilize their base.

Democrats in Dallas spent Sunday at local churches and polling places trying to encourage their voters to get out early too.
Their volunteers echoed the non-stop mentality for the next nine days.
"It really is like 4th quarter and it's tied and you need that one last play,” said volunteer Jara Butler.
So far, local counties have had record turnouts for early voting as the races on the ballot, especially the tense presidential race draw a lot of interest to the election.
