Where were you last week at this time, I was still at my polling location still voting people
until 9 pm.

I had no idea that the Democrats were winning big, I had one strange election day.

All I wanted was the day to end, I got up a 5 AM.

I woke up with a cold and when I did get home I went to bed.

The next day was great even with a bad cold.:kick:

2. Houston, Tx.
I have a big precinct with only 8 voting eslates to vote on.

From 7 AM to 10:30 AM were were down to 4 eslates, that was real fun.

3. I only worked 8 hours
Because I told them I didn't have the stamina to do 13. But I was energized, especially
the results.

4. I am the Precinct Judge so I had to be there.
I had woman pass out, she was ill to start with and then she stood in the long line to vote.

We called 911.

5. Houston, as a poll observer at a counting station
Very interesting, watching the eslates come in and be counted. I observed nothing wrong and was given full access.

7. Thanks for being there WestHoustonDem
I wish the county would have been faster in getting a new JBC out to my precinct, it took 4 hours on the phone before a super tech showed up with one.

What a day.

Nothing like dealing with a long line of angry voters to really make your day.
