Drudge had story earlier today that this vote was taking place.
The story doesn't say what the vote count was, but there was a "record breaking" 25 percent turnout.

The United States Department of Justice monitored the election to ensure polling places were in compliance with the Voting Rights Act.
DOJ VRA ping ... Protecting the ability of non-citizens and non-residents to vote (and vote twice!) in Southern elections every year.

Farmers Branch is a great place to live. It's a beautiful place. And it's a place that respects the law and wants to uphold the law.
It's a little long for the water tower, but it'll look good on the city's website.

LMAO
I've had multiple opportunities to watch DOJ folks "monitor" elections under the Voting Rights Act. The best thing that could happen is to let this piece of trash law expire so the federal government can stop abusing Southern states.

The state of Oklahoma passed a tough illegal immigration bill this week. Now, Farmers Branch.
The stone is starting to roll, and it might just roll through Washington, DC and crush a few of the staunch pro-illegals politicians.
The elected in Washington have tended to ignore the voters on this issue. Now, the voters are starting to make the needed changes at the local and state levels. Washington incumbents should be shaking in their incumbencies, if they continue to ignore the voters.

Typical garbage reporting.
How many votes were cast?
How many for?
How many against?
From here we learn that 68% of the voters voted for the law.
From here we learn that:
More than 3,000 residents out of 14,100 registered voters participated during early balloting, which ended Tuesday. That's about 2,000 more than the total number who voted in each of the past two municipal elections, according to the Dallas County Elections Department.
Could it be that the reporters working for TV stations just don't know jack sh!t about reporting? Oh, but they are pretty.

"This is going to be right in the column with the sitting in the back of the bus and not using bathrooms that whites use." NO, It's NOT! There is a huge difference. Black people were American citizens, and they had rights as citizens that they were denied.
Illegals have NO rights. Deal with it! Go back to Mexico, and you can have rights there!

I live in Carrollton, Tx. which borders Farmers Branch to the north. The area has a heavy hispanic and asian immigrant population. We just ask that immigrants are legal, law abiding and good citizens regardless of ethnicity. Send illegals home to follow the correct procedures for legal entry. No drug dealers or criminals allowed entry. Listen up Feds...we the legal citizens have spoken.

Agree with the sentiment, although I think “ballot initiatives” are asinine and antithetical to republican (note small “r”) principles.
