The print is smaller than I am comfortable with, so I took it along with me when my son drove me to an appointment, and while we waited he read each issue to me and marked the ballot for me. We dropped it into the mail on the way home.

I think Governor Abbott and the Texas Supreme Court are going to regret what they have done to our fellow Texans by having suppressed the vote...we will NOT forget!<br /><br />I just went to look through the Spam Comments to see if your comment somehow ended up there but it did not. Sometimes when I write a comment and hit the PREVIEW button my comment disappears but you can get it back if you hit the <--- back arrow on your browser.<br /><br />Snow already? We had a high of 90 degrees today. While I am not a fan we could certainly use some here to cool us down and to kill the darn weeds.<br /><br />Enjoy the snow!MsBelindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09035993834877022676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6538104263023802022.post-1271629015312786322020-10-22T20:48:34.121-07:002020-10-22T20:48:34.121-07:00I know you feel good about getting your voting don...I know you feel good about getting your voting done. They have a web page to go and check on your mail in votes. It told me when they received mine and each step that it went through and that it has been counted.<br />Can't wait to see what you have to say about the debate tonight if you watched.JOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05658713978278693047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6538104263023802022.post-20039349118277994362020-10-22T18:38:41.045-07:002020-10-22T18:38:41.045-07:00Yea!

So I'll try again tomorrow, when the temperature at 7AM will be 68, down to 50 by noon! I don't mind the cold; just can't stand up a long time at my age (try 15 minutes, hah.) Meanwhile, I do have my paper ballot I received in the mail, so can always drop it off. I just kind of want my vote to be recorded on the machines down there! Seems like a lot of people on both sides are holding their breaths on this one.

It is a crime to limit the available places for voting in so many places. <br />I also enjoyed your previous post. I don't know why it would not accept my reply. Every so often it just does that. I have heard the same on some other blogs. <br />We had snow here this morning.
