Early Voting in Tarrant County Texas
In 2000 there were only - 185,181 ballots cast for early voting.

So far this year 232,537 have voted, total only reflects from 10-18 thru 10-27...

That doesn't include the next 2 days of voting!

Looks like the people who sat on their non-voting asses are getting out to vote this year.

I am encouraged by the record turn outs all across the country of early voting.

Can't wait to see the results of Tuesdays numbers.

I believe that Kerry is going to win in a landslide, because "we the people" had the last election stolen from us, and we will not sit by this year to let that happen again.

I think Democrats, Anarchists, Greens, etc. etc. will be voting for Kerry!

5. Visualize THIS Texan who sat on her non-voting ass in 2000 -
to her everlasting shame - :spank: :spank: :spank: :spank: :spank: - voting for Kerry! I did so on the first day of early voting (10/18), VERY heavy turnout, and it remained so throughout the early voting time period.

MANY of my fellow Texans are voting for Kerry. Those in other states might be surprised at the number of K/E signs and stickers I have seen around town (Houston).

Turning Texas Blue - Kerry In A Landslide!!!

4. Yes President Kerry
I have been visualizing this Every Day!

We will do everything possible to win this election.

I don't believe the poll numbers that the media keeps feeding us. They aren't representing the majority of voters.

People Have The POWER!!!

6. I took my mom to vote Friday, in Tarrant County...
There were well over 200 people in line, at Keller Town hall, with more streaming in as we left.
Mostly women,many young couples,and a line the snaked back and forth through the lobby. I had dropped Mom off at the door so she had a short walk, and went to find a parking spot. Kerry stickers matched BC stickers about 1/1. I got inside and a nice man with masonic pins working the polls asked Mom if she could stand for that long. She had her cane, and honestly said she could not. So they sat us down an a bench and we talked and people-watched as we waited. About 30 minutes passed when the poll worker came with a computer with large screen and buttons with a scroll wheel interface. I helped mom vote, confirming her choices and making sure it was all as she wanted before she pressed the red "Send vote" button. Straight DEM of course! and she started talking to the poll-worker about how she and my dad were Dems all their lives, that he died last year, and I was her baby. I was touched and proud of her!
I then took her home and we fixed some dinner together, watched Franken show, talked till 1 am or so. It was a great experience.

I feel good about Tuesday!!
