I FINALLY voted in Texas

I was out of state and didn’t return home to Texas until yesterday evening. The second thing I did this Wednesday morning was to go to one of the early voting stations here in Travis County and cast my ballot, freeing up space for other citizen voters to vote for Team Donkey’s candidates today, tomorrow Friday and on Election Day.

This may or may not be the year when the walls of the Red Keep finally fall, but it’s good practice.

Procrastinators, you have until Friday evening to vote early here in Texas. DON’T put off early voting until Saturday or Sunday!

Election Day is Tuesday next week!

(for anyone reading) - to find out if you even have weekend voting.

We had it the first weekend, but not this weekend! So, for Brazoria County it's this week through Friday & election day.

They literally bring all the usb drives and paper ballots to the elections office after early voting. During that time, they tabulate the votes. Each machine is recalibrated and another election is held three days later.

Always have three days of closed polls before election day.

If you want to vote in this year’s election and missed your chance to vote early this week, you will HAVE to vote on Election Day if you want your ballot to be counted.
