Yesterday in line to vote in deepest South Texas
McAllen. Ground Zero for the immigration debate, family separations, and assorted goose stepping Trumpian policies.
In a long line, on the first day of early voting, I see two elderly black women. One in her sixties, the other in her 80's and walking with the help of a cane and the younger black woman.
