Texans and Others: Have You Early Voted Yet?
Just got back. No line, 10 Texas Constitution amendments and one city council election. Met the guy I voted for outside. Both had very similar backgrounds, right down to attending the same church. Both campaign websites were equally full of vague platitudes. It was one word that swung it for me....one candidate, in his interview with the local paper mentioned 'diversity.' Oops. That's my trigger word. Voted for the other guy. Turns out the guy I voted for supports Trump too.

Voted by mail. Cost me a stamp, but no driving to the polling place, parking, walking in, waiting in line, etc., etc., etc.

Both my wife and I voted after work. PA has new voting machines now. ( they were worried about the previous ones getting hacked )
So now, you get in line and when it's your turn, give your name and you're located on the register. ( just as before ) But NOW, you get a legal sized paper ballot ( 11" x 17" ) , a folder that covers almost all of it and a black ink marker. You go behind a cardboard privacy "booth" and fill out who you want to vote for by filling in the dot by their name. ( this my be the last election for straight party voting as our gov got new voting regs thru ) Then you put it in the folder and go to the election judge and he directs you to the scanner. YOU put the paper ballot in the "copy machine" ( he does NOT touch it unless you specifically request help and then another election official watches him (or her) load the ballot in. It scans it and after about 10 seconds , a screen reads "CAST". All paper ballots are locked in the machine and if the votes don't add up, the paper ballots are the "master". Time wise this new system takes at least twice as long. Jeff |

There were several other much larger bonds including a hand out to one of our huge hospital areas, and another gift to our failing public transit system. |
