How we count our supporters

What the number means

When we say 696,555 Texans, we mean Texans who have entered the movement’s universe through one of five concrete acts:

1. Signed the Let Texas Decide petition online.
2. Signed in person with a TNM volunteer at a rally, an event, or a county meeting.
3. Became a paying member.
4. Made a donation.
5. Volunteered with the Texas Nationalist Movement.

Each of these is a public act. A Texan did something: put their name down, paid in, showed up, gave their time. The number is the count of Texans who have done at least one of them.

Why that count is the right one

This is the same standard Texas already uses to decide who belongs to a political party.

Texas does not register voters by party. There is no form that makes you a Democrat or a Republican in this state. You become a member of a party by participating in it, by voting in its primary, a concrete public act. The party then counts you as one of theirs, and everyone treats that count as real, because the act behind it is real.

We count our supporters to that same standard. The Texas Nationalist Movement is not a petition platform tallying signatures. It is a movement organization counting the Texans who have acted with it, the way the parties count the Texans who have acted with them.

How current it is

The figure updates from a single source as close to real-time as the data allows, so the number you see here is the number on record right now.
