(2,674 posts)I voted on the last day of early voting in Oak Cliff. The people who voted Democrat had to wait for a voting machine, the ones who voted Republican didn't have to wait.

(3,928 posts)regular polling site, the elementary school. Here they split Primary voting sites on party lines. Odd that the site always "changed" is the Democratic site.
I'll vote for Wendy Davis in the primary on Tuesday.

(30,058 posts)I have been told we will share the location with the GOP. I have also learned it is the winning party who gets to be the judge in the future elections which in Harris County that is Democratic judge. Thanks Democratic voters for turning our county blue. I also noticed a larger percentage of younger black female voters in the fall election, keep up the big turnout, GOTV!
