About the Travis County ballot for Democratic voters.

There was a long list of names for the presidential primary.

Biden's was in the middle.

There was also a long list of names for the Senate primary,
and Colin Allred was listed last. That worried me because
I want him to take on Cruz.

There was also a candidate sign posted right in front of
another contestant, a woman.

I moved it out of the way and voted for her.

Texas politics I guess.

Joe Biden is listed second, with Colin Allred listed 5th in the Senate race. It surprises me to learn that the order is different in the various counties.

I was in a couple of ballot draw at county executive committee meetings. President Biden is 5th in my county out of eight candidates including Cenk (who is not eligible to serve as POTUS).
