Texas Primary Runoffs

Tomorrow is another Primary Day for a lot of states, plus Texas is having runoffs from our primaries back in March. I already early voted last week.

This is actually the 2nd election this month, which confused me. Texas already had local elections on May 7th for constitutional amendments, city council places, and school board elections. It's extremely difficult to get any info about these local races because the major newspapers (Dallas Morning News and Fort Worth Star Telegram) that might publish background information about such candidates are paywalled. So it was annoying and confusing why we couldn't combine the elections. The political ads on TV have been infuriating too, with Republicans accusing each other of being liberal or woke. Plus I hate whenever Trump comes to campaign in Texas.

Meanwhile Greg Abbott continues to be horrible, but at least the Treasury Dept are investigating him for using federal Covid money to pay for his border security stunt. I hope they can make him refund the money or at least make him send the border troops home to actually do something useful.
