2. Right?
It could happen. Depends on what the turnout is, and how much vote tampering goes on. But... it's possible.

4. I voted
I voted for Obama here in Fort Worth, and there was a big crowd in line that seemed VERY pro-Obama. Great to see that even here in Texas!

14. Hey fellow Fort Worth citizen, I'm waiting for Nov. 4th and Paper Ballot
Welcome to DU:hi:

And thanks for your vote of Obama. Hopefully Tarrant County will turn BLUE. Obama has a very large following here in Tarrant County. I have been involved with the Tarrant Obama campaign since the Primaries.

You should check out this website http://www.tarrantobama.org

It is a great source of info.

7. I just voted Obama in Texas.
Since every time with the machines they have to show you what to do I got the feeling I was being urged to vote straight party ticket in the interest of time.

8. I hope the judge made her remove her pin
You can't wear campaign stuff within 100 feet of the entrance to a polling place.

9. They didn't notice, as it was on her back.
All the monitors were facing the line, none were pacing around. No one said anything about it.

No lines here in McLennan County, Texas. I voted before 8:30 a.m.

13. Haha! I just got my "Trekkies for Obama" and "Hippies for Obama"...
Edited on Mon Oct-20-08 03:59 PM by Marthanna
...in today...plus a whole lot more (love the "Deadheads for Obama")!

I didn't know there was a law in Texas about wearing party stuff in line...weird!

Heck, I was going to wear all my gear when I vote later on today (in Kyle, Texas).

16. I also voted in Texas and finished in about 20 minutes.
It was a long line but the ladies kept the line moving fast. I encourage everyone to vote early and prompt others to do the same.
