(Vanity) Texas early voting report
Me | 10/24/2016 | Me

Posted on 10/24/2016 10:13:19 AM PDT by jhouston

Tried to early vote in Texas today. First day of early voting, not expecting large crowds.

Closest location is in Pasadena a Houston suburb. Middle class refinery workers mostly, large Hispanic population. Get to polling place and have to park 2 blocks away. The line wraps half way around the building (I estimate 200) people. I talk to someone in line and they said they had sent someone out to report that it would be a 3 hour wait. Very few minorities in line. Looks more like a Garth Brooks concert line. These people are not voting for Hillary.

Decide to go to another location instead of waiting so I go to Clear Lake (home of NASA) and find the same situation. Still no noticable minority or hispanic population in line. Left there too (I am not a line waiter). Again, based on stereotypes, no Hillary voters here either.

I go to another location in a predominately minority area (Cullen street) No lines and I easlily find a parking spot. Go in and find a line about 20-30 people long, 100% Obama's people (no Trump voters in this line). Waited about 20 minutes and got my straight Repub vote entered.

Despite the phony polls, Texas was never even going to be close for Hillary, but based on the enthusiam I saw today I am pretty sure it is going to be a Trump blowout (at least in Texas).

Curious what everyone else is seeing in other states.

Good first hand info. If Texas is even “close”, it is pretty clear that the COUNT is rigged.

If representative of early voting, Hillary’s feint about Texas being “in Play” is backfiring BIGLY!

Tsunami level turnout in Pflugerville, which leans liberal. I went by not really to vote, just pick up a sample ballot. Couldn’t get a reasonably close parking place, so I will try again later. Have never seen this many people voting there.

“I am pretty sure it is going to be a Trump blowout (at least in Texas).”

I’m pretty sure it’s going to be a blowout EVERYWHERE!

Stock up on popcorn. Election night will be a hoot.

AS TO TEXAS: lotsa Dumbo hanky panky goin' on there

(1) Obama's dream for a long time has been to snatch Texas from the solid Republican column. For sure he has been manipulating the vote there for a long time.

(2) Hillary's team just announced their "Texas Decapitation Strategy"....meaning cutting off Trump at the pass.....grabbing the passel of Texas electoral votes for themselves.

==============================================

Texans better ride herd on the Dumbo vote-thieves.

Reporting from far west Knox Co., TN, a Republican stronghold. I’ve been by the Farragut town hall just about every day since early voting began on the 19th. Parking lot’s been FULL all day, so I haven’t gone in to vote yet. It was the same way during the Republican primary. Not being a line stander, I’m waiting for a lull before I vote.

So she’s not just down by 4!!!!!

Knock me over with a feather!!!

MSM didn’t even TRY to hide its bias at ALL this time. In fact, it actively colluded with hillary which should make for a revolution.

I am praying the revolution is Trump’s victory.

>These people are not voting for Hillary.<

.
Praying that you are right. The people in line are probably praying that they won’t be laid off. Things are very rough in Houston. I know of 30 Houston engineers that are moving out because they have been without work for six months. If things ever get better again, companies won’t find enough engineers and scientists to do the work.

Wow, I had the same experience this morning when I dropped my mail-in ballot off at the post office. The mailbox was full to the brim with Trump supporting ballots. At least that’s what I assumed.

Voted in Richmond, Texas. No wait at 10:40, but by 11:00 there were 10 voters in line. I would guess Trump voters because they were nice, quiet, waiting patiently. Did see a man with a Colorado T-shirt on that wanted to vote. Don’t know how to guess his party.

I made a joke about bringing in several 55 gallon containers of tomatoe juice for the bloody mary’s being made the day after the election for the clinton gangs at my local pub, they said they already had that in mind.

The MSM is going to go into a shark blood in the water feeding frenzy when their pollpraganda efforts have completely failed.

Spring Branch, Houston
One hour wait. Fire Marshall was there because I suspect the building was over capacity.
We wore our red, but the gal in front of us had her sample ballot out, marked mostly for Dems.

Katy, tx. First day of early voting. The parking lot is full. This area is neon red for Trump.

Keep in mind that early voting, at least in Texas, is always largely Republican.
