I voted today. I normally always vote early, since I cannot guarantee that my work schedule will let me vote on Election Day. I usually go during the daytime when there's no line. Today I arrived minutes after opening time and there were already 20+ people in line ahead of me. I hope that's good news that so many people were prepared and ready to go. There were a lot of local judges on the ballot, and many had Democrats running, but about a dozen were unopposed Republicans. Disappointing. I hope we can do better in future.
Anyway I read that Kamala is coming to Texas on Friday. She'll have a rally in Houston, but of course I can't go as I have to work and Houston's too far from DFW. It's very exciting, though the naysayers at Daily Kos say she's neglecting the "blue wall" and this is a sign of desperation. Hey, she and Tim Walz have been to the battleground states over a dozen times during this campaign. Why the fuck can't Texas get one visit? They're so greedy and full of doom & gloom over the polls. This is why I don't ever join Daily Kos. They're so hysterical and constantly fighting over there.
Yes I get worried too, but bringing other people down is not how to motivate them to vote. I am seeing some political ads lately, including Colin Allred's, but there have been a bunch of anonymous attack ads against "liberal judges who are soft on crime" and fearmongering about "open borders" while ignoring that the Republicans were the ones to kill the immigration bill. I find the radio ads more annoying than the TV ads, since with TV ads I can at least fast forward and see when the ad is over. I'll be glad when this is over.
