Are you a writer for Cruz commercials? Cause this seems pretty much verbatim.

Zero evidence on voter fraud has been found in any numbers to change statewide or national elections. They’ve had 4 years. 

It's actually been a lot longer than four years.  Republicans have been trying to enact voter suppression measures for at least a decade premised on the idea that without them, vote fraud occurs.  But they have been wholly unable to prove any systematic or outcome-affecting vote fraud.

Interesting. How do you check the SoS list?

Go to this link: https://earlyvoting.texas-election.com/Elections/getElectionEVDates.do

There will be three drop boxes:

 Choose the Unofficial Early Voting option on the left, select the date you voted, and hit submit.

Choose the county you voted in, and download the CSV file. It lists everyone who voted on that date in that county.

Your name should be on that list.

 

[Dr. Teeth 5842]

Voted. Took 5 minutes. Got to once again vote for the baddest former MMA fighting congresswoman in the land. 

[Valmy77 13193]

Oh yeah that does work. Thanks.

[Mother mopar 3310]

Kid voted for the first time, stoked for her. 

[WithoutAClue 15278]

[GhostOfTomJoad 9320]

Yep. I found my confirmation using the correct date. Thanks for the link.

Just did my part to try and turn Texas blue.

[dcbc 14443]

We thought we had my older son set up with an absentee ballot.  Turns out, despite his filling out the info, they only sent him another application.  He was home and could have early voted last weekend but didn't realize the mistake until he returned to Austin on Sunday.  But he is determined to vote and got permission from one of his professors to leave early on Thursday to make the 4-hour trip home to vote that afternoon.  He then will make the return trip to Austin that same day (early classes on Friday).  He's going to earn that sticker.  I hope there are a lot like him who are going the extra mile (or 450) to turn Texas a little more Blue.

[GopherRock 1765]

Did my part in Minnesota to send that fat orange fuck packing. Eat shit and fuck off!

Voted today in East Dallas. Felt really, really good. Let's get this done.

Ass, gas, or grass.  Nobody votes for free.

[dcbc 14443]

Just realized he can vote limited ballot (Federal and Statewide offices) in Austin at the Airport Blvd polling place during early voting  Who knew?  

[RabidM 2664]

I'm in. there was basically no line at the bee cave courthouse.  Let's do this thing. 

[Fico 1770]

Wheatsville on S Lamar - was in and out in 15 minutes 

[Francisco 2.0 32354]

 

 

Mrs. Francisco and I met at the polling place after work and did our civic duty.  

 

 

 

 

[jettrink 40]

I voted today.  Smooth as silk.

[CoachTex 2623]

I voted last Saturday.  About a 30 minute wait at Helotes city hall after bailing on 2 public libraries due to no parking. 

[CoachTex 2623]

P.S. Make Texas Blue again!

[TexPx 2321]

Done.

Someone tell me why those early voting numbers don't look bad with the huge turnouts in Collin and Denton Counties.

Of course they're bad.  Dude.  We're in Texas.  Beelzebub Puppykiller (R) wins a statewide election by 5-6 points.  Beelzebub Mexicanhater Puppykiller (R) wins by 7-8 points.  Ironically, by picking up hispanic votes.

You know this.  If you waste even a millisecond of your life hoping for Texas to "turn blue" this election, you're a fool.

I mean they are bad because we are almost certainly going to lose this election.

But good because high turnout should...someday...work out for us.

[DigglerontheHoof 21098]

Fuck Trump and Cruz.

[TheStoicPaisano 9905]

Not very creative. Alas.

 

 

[Brisketexan 104783]

BTW, my daughter (who voted absentee from overseas) is annoyed she didn't get a sticker.  So, we saved ours, and my wife will bring them with her when she visits her later this month.  She wants to put it on her laptop, as she does with her sticker each time she votes.  It's a record of her defiance (thus far).  Let's hope it becomes a record of her win soon.

Just filled out my WA mail ballot and will swing by a drop box tomorrow morning. Hope it doesn't get firebombed. I'd describe myself as ambivalent toward a Harris presidency but she's the no-brainer none the less.

Categorically, I will not vote for a Republican, so obviously running up the score on the presidential and statewide races but there are some GOP-aligned ballot measures best described as ratfuckery that I had the pleasure of voting against; and while I'm a little iffy on the soon-to-be Governor, other statewide Democratic incumbents/candidates seem to be accomplished and well regarded in their fields. From what I can tell they stay in their lane, no Sid Miller or Ken Paxton nonsense either, which is refreshing. My understanding is the Seattle city council seat is pretty competitive too, so not a total waste of time.

Pretty cool sticker too:

Good on ya! Looks like we voted pretty much the same (and yes, the sticker is cool) - the initiatives are definitely ratfuckery but as usual I think the electorate here will see through it. Bob Ferguson is a pretty good dude, or at least he was when he was my neighborhood's county council rep years ago; Reichert is dumb as a sack of hammers although I don't think terribly MAGA. 

I'm a bit concerned about how far behind the vote counts are from 2020 (especially regarding WA-03, which we may lose), but there seems to be a slight improvement over the past couple of days.

I’m so jealous.  Mail in ballot?  Drop box?  
 

Texas has none of those futuristic devices.

[GenXer 2796]

Election day on Tues. I have jury duty on Wed. Apparently, it’s civic duty week for me.

Wed jury selection should be interesting. At least half the people should be good and pissed off. Although, some swing states may be hanging in the balance. Mobile phones likely to be not allowed so we’ll just be hanging in limbo during voir dire. Should be terrible.

People watching should be fun. 

[CooterBrown 17950]

We just took Junior Brown to vote on her 18th birthday today.  No line at the Illuminati Center on Rockwood but it was probably 20 deep when we left.  3 straight ticket Democrat votes were added to the tally.

Our voting system is aggressively analog. You have to snail mail or hand deliver your registration FFS.

I do love our long early voting period. I hope they never take that away from us.

I was stunned to see they were still allowing the disabled to vote in their cars. I would have assumed the state would make them drag themselves inside

Maybe if our governor wasn’t a cripple.

[WhatTheBuck 28729]

I deposited my absentee ballot in the drop box at election HQ this morning. Traffic was heavy going in. The line for early voters was sort of long but you can see from the maze of metal barricades that they’re prepared for it to get a lot longer. That’s what happens when there’s only one early voting location and drop box per county regardless of the population. Fuck you, GOP.

No lines at the ACC location.

As I cast my ballot four first time voters were cheered as the left.

This is different.

[Willfully Horn 7948]

Eldest daughter voted today, driving from SA, where she is doing postgrad research, to San Marcos. Proud of that woman.

MIL is set on voting in the church on Election Day. Calls herself a D1 voter. That’s how you used to vote a straight D ticket, apparently, back when voting booths had heavy drapes and a machine that looked like a switchboard.

There were 2 first time voters when I voted Monday, both teenagers, I was in and out in about five minutes so I’m gonna say there were 288 new voters that day based on my sample size.

[MissingInAction 24869]

Also the elderly woman monitoring the ballot box was getting fresh.

She said, Just stick it in.

I'm trying

Just give it a tap

Ok now it's going in.

[Covri 6231]

I got to pick what blank piece of paper I stuck in the machine. Guess that was the plan to prove no shenanigans with ballots for the magats or something…

[MissingInAction 24869]

Same. The operation to prevent fuckery was obvious. 

 

[Gatorubet 30164]

I just voted. Meaning I dropped my mail-in ballot at the post office since I’ll be out of the country on Tuesday.

If there are any single Democratic women Power Drinking Tuesday night on the cruise as they watch election results, my getting laid odds go waaaay up.*  There is just something sexy about an older man in a Walz camo hat.
 

* Women married to insufferable MAGATs who endured the month leading up to the election are not excluded.  I will gladly fill their hand in a welcoming gesture across the aisle.   Or alternatively, shake their hand with my hand.

I voted earlier this afternoon. The demographics were a lot different than usual. I spotted several groups of young women that arrived together to vote. I've never seen anything like that before and they easily out numbered the truck bros in their Punisher/Murica shirts with Ray Bans worn backwards on their head.
