2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumWoohoo, I early voted in Texas!!!!
Straight Democratic ticket. Doing my part to help turn Texas blue. Got there at 7:45, I was number 3 in line, but by the time I voted the line was out the door. Polls opened in Ft. Worth at 8am, but over in Dallas they opened at 7am.

(1,770 posts)And at the courthouse where I voted, there were a ton of signs. In those signs I counted 3 Hillary ones. RUMP signs....absolutely zero.
It's usually fairly Republican with a decent amount of Democrats, mainly due to the Hispanic influx in the area.
There was no line, but a good crowd inside voting. No problems other than being told to quiet or turn off any cell phones, which I did.

My son just called me and there is no parking at the West Gray Harris County early voting site

(9,148 posts)they expect over 50% to vote early.
Also Dallas county has 45 pollingsites open. That is up from 25 last election.
Could reflect the rapid growth of the city/county. But it good news all around.

Of course, Texas would be the mother of all swing states!
