Got my wife and two grown-up kids to vote for Clinton/Kaine yesterday in San Patricio County, just north of Corpus Christi.

Also got my sister and her family to vote early, so another four, for a total of eight!

Go Democrats! Please turn Texas blue!

Not even election day yet.

I stood there for a few minutes before i voted.

I was voting for our first woman president.

It was really special.

Voted straight ticket.

A lot of women looked to be doing the same thing.

We are going to do this.

In my own precinct, I was elated that there was a Dem candidate for each and every race. In year's prior, there have been times when there were not always Dem selections, in which case I either vote for whatever is NOT a Republican, or leave that one blank if only a Reoublucan choice.

20. I have elections since I was 2 years old with my parents who were precinct judges.

I was a precinct judge for many years and worked early voting.

This election is very special.

For a lot if us our Grandmothers were the first women who could vote at 21.

I felt like i was voting for my mother and grandmothers who have passed away.

When I hit cast ballot it was special.

I had a young kid with me and this was her first election.

She just turned 18.

The kid was crying a little.

This election is not only for us, but for the brave trailblazers who came before us, and for the generations who will follow us.

It is historic and I am savoring it.

The kid is a hard core democrat.

She is working as clerk on Tuesday.

I am working with her.

I am proud of her.
