Just wanted to inform everyone that in Texas no one gets a paper ballot for early voting. All E-Slate machines.
Only on Election Day can you request and receive a paper ballot.
Also JSYK, if you can a mistake while voting on paper, you can request a new ballot from the Election Judge. They will issue you a new ballot, while they spoil the incorrect ballot. You are allowed up to three ballots, but no more than that.
I'll be the Alternate Judge, and will vote on Nov. 6 and on a PAPER BALLOT.

Wilson has a paper option, even during Early Vote. Bexar doesn't have it.

Pretty sure they have to offer the choice.
Id probably contest that.

How would someone contest it?
I don't have the money for an attorney, which is what would probably be needed for anything to happen.
