    Going tomorrow!

    If this is your first time voting, bring your ID, and make a plan to go during early voting. It’s so much easier than waiting until Nov 5.

      It would be so funny if a person named Allred turns texas at least blue for senate. The senate race is looking really close, so even if it doesn’t flip blue for president, that texas senate races matters a lot. If TX senate flips, it makes keeping the senate blue so much easier

    Voted today in the Fort Worth suburbs. Hopefully Cruz is just so clearly reprehensible that Allred pulls off a surprise, but I fear that not actively hating trans people may doom him.

    Generally easy to vote, but as mentioned, remember your ID. Had one chucklefuck who wore a “Make College Station Great Again” hat that slipped by the poll-workers because it was Aggie maroon. Wife told me the Aggie was yucking it up with somebody, “you all know how to vote, right???” but she verbally shut them down, because she’s awesome like that. I did see the pollworkers send one lady who was likely voting R (educated guess here… she was well behaved) to go home because she had applied for an absentee ballot but hadn’t brought it to surrender at the polling place.

    I’m going today. I looked at a sample ballot and even though I’m in a very democratic county, every judge was an R running unopposed. I hate feeling like only 5 or 6 elections are actually up to me to sway.

    Definitely go vote early. Poll locations are pretty crazy for early voting so election day is going to be insane.
