Shocking turnout for first day of early voting in Houston
The Houston Chronicle ^ | 10/22/18 | Jeremy Wallace

Thousands of people were already camped out at a key early voting location in Houston on Monday morning, hours before voting was even set to begin.

Nearly 2,000 people stood in line outside of the Metropolitan Multi-Service Center on West Gray near River Oaks in a scene that looked more like a Black Friday shopping morning.

This early voter turnout is a spill over from the Trump Rally in Houston.

The River Oaks area of Houston is one of the wealthiest parts of Texas with lots of Republican voters.

All good signs!

Gray St. is borderline Montrose which is heavy rat area. This is the heart of SJL’s district — heavy rat!

That is awesome.

This red wave is going to gain us seats in both the House and the Senate.

River Oaks is wealthy and conservative.

When I lived in Houston from 1995 to 1997 the River Oaks area was very Republican. I don't know if they are the squishy “thousand points of lights” Bush crimes family variety of patriots. Any insights?

WATCH FOR VOTER FRAUD

They have nothing to lose, and nothing to fear if they win (there would be no investigation.)

NANCY PELOSI - Speaker of The House
ADAM SCHIFF- Intelligence committee chair
MAXINE WATERS - Finance committee chair

START MAKING THEM AFRAID TO COMMIT VOTE FRAUD!!!

And at least 33% of those camping there are actual citizens.

Blue House Sue...thanks for your analysis of the article.

The article paints a rosy picture for the dims.

FTA: O'Rourke meanwhile objected to the partisan undertones in Abbott's and Cruz's message. In an interview with the Houston Chronicle on Sunday night in Sugar Land, he said this election isn't about Texas being red or blue.

"Who cares about the partisan color of Texas?" O'Rourke said. "I could give a damn about what party you are in."

Hey O'Rourke!

We care what party you are in...which is why you are going to lose.

Come to TN to see even more of this phenomenon. Knox Co., where I live, is heavily Republican, more than the rest of TN. We’re at the highest level of early voting and absentee voting in our history.

Thank you. That is more reassuring than generally blue ‘Houston’.
