I voted yesterday. A lot of people in line.
Early voting had started Tuesday morning here in Travis County, Texas and I decided to risk it on Wednesday. Voter turnout was high enough in my part of Austin that I had to wait about an hour or so before I could cast my ballot. Most of my wait was outdoors, often under shade trees and the breeze reducing the chances for catching the bug. I only spent the last 7 to 20 minutes indoors and I was masked up and gloved.
I havent checked figures for todays turnout, but if this trend continues, I believe that Texas branch of Club Pachyderm may have The rudest surprise theyve had in years.
That couldnt happen to a more deserving bunch.
