intimidation at the polls on Nov. 8 and also because they worry there could be violence--or that the lines will be so long they can't cast their vote.

They had combined precincts and only one laptop to check voters in with.

I'm in the UT area, so it's hard not to think they were trying to discourage voting.

I made damn sure I had a mail-in ballot this time, which I can do because I am older than 65.

There were no long lines, but it was busy at the courthouse, so three or four people stood in line to show IDs and get ballots.

(Our courthouse is very small.)

But early voting started on the 19th, so that's good.

It can actually happen!

I hope we see a couple surprise visits from some top Dems yet.
That would be awsome & may just give Tx to Hillary.
