Texas' secretary of state, Carlos H. Cascos, wrote that "only persons authorized by law may be inside of a polling location during voting."
"We are unable to accommodate your request to visit a polling station; however, our office is available to discuss generally the election process or perhaps facilitate a meeting with local election officials," he wrote.

I wish the weather wasn’t so hot for so long in Texas (this coming from someone living in Silicon Valley of California). My wife and I would move there in a heartbeat otherwise. Austin >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Sacramento (politically).
Don’t try that with UN observers.
Do NOT move to Austin. Don’t even think about it. It is San Francisco’s sister/tranny/gay city.
And don’t move to Houston either if you are dependent on the O&G business, because it has been dead for a year and there doesn’t seem to be any improvement in the situation.
But we do have humidity in the gulf area which will save you a lot of $ on moisturizer and lotion. Beautiful day today - 70 degrees, perfect convertible weather!
“Austin >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Sacramento (politically).”
Worse: Austin = Berkeley!
My sister and her family live in the Hill Country. I go for longer and longer visits every year. Three years ago, my departure coincided with Easter Sunday. I was driving up to Dallas-Ft Worth to catch a flight late that night.
A young family— husband, wife, three kids in a Chrysler minivan — stopped in the median, which was full of blue bonnets, just about sunset. They were taking a family picture, surrounded by the blooming blue bonnets, in their Easter Sunday best.
Can’t say why, but it put a lump in my throat. Enduring memory of TX, completely unrelated to my visit or fondness for Shiner Bock.
I was speaking in terms of state politics and their respective capitals.
Today was fall in the Dallas area.
Be sure to tell everyone in California thinking about coming to Texas that we have four seasons - ice storms, tornadoes, drought, and hurricanes.
We have zika, west nile, enterovirus-D68, and the highest incidence of Ebola in the country. Suburban areas are infested with bobcats and coyotes, and rabid raccoons, skunks and bats. No point landscaping, as the leprosy infected possums will just dig up your yard.
And, of course, your neighbors all have arsenals of high capacity assault rifles and auto-chambering pistols.
Sales and real estate taxes are high.
Remember what General Phil Sheridan said: “If I owned Texas and Hell, I would rent Texas and live in Hell.”
Make that “leprosy infected armadillos”
Not in the realtor business, huh? lol
Texas has more than enough steers, it doesn’t need any Moscows
Go f**k yourself Russia. Just who the hell do you think you are and what would you know about free elections?
you like texas like I do and for some of the same reasons.
Fire ants, dont forget the fire ants. And africanized killer bees, and western diamondbacks and BIG flying cockroaches...
I went to UC Berkeley and for years, I did business in Austin. Trust me, Austin is more like Berkeley than Sacramento. The major difference is cow manure. Austin has it, Berkeley doesn’t, otherwise they both have the same worthless college professors who spew the same crap to their gullible students. I will say though, when it comes to District Attorneys, Austin is in a class by itself. I thought Ronnie Earl was a POS, until this drunk capo woman came aboard with her suing Governor Perry and all.
No! You do NOT want to move to uber lib Austin. You’re trading one lib hell hole for another.
Property taxes are high. They are allowed to increase 10% each year. And they do. Each and every year. We started out paying 2 weeks of income when we moved into our house. Today, it’s 3 months and 10 days of income.
I’d say more than ours in 2000, 2008 and 2012.
