Today was the first day of voting in the Great State of Texas and I am so PROUD of my fellow Texans who turned out in droves to vote in cities large and small despite the voter suppression that Republicans and its leader Texas Governor Gregg Abbott has been trying to pull on its citizenry.
I know per the Google report all bloggers receive monthly about their stats and that came as a surprise to me...that more people that access this blog...do so from their cellphones. If you do so then you can not see the header picture unless you go down to the very bottom and chose the Web Version which probably many are not aware of. That will tell you the voter suppression we are suffering and that even the Texas Supreme Court (all nine Republican) have upheld.
Here is said header picture...
Texans stood in line for as long as six hours in some locations just to exercise their right to vote and did so willingly and knowing that this election is the most important one in their lives because our democracy, our health, our values, and everything we hold dear to us are on the line.
I urge all Texans and fellow Americans to VOTE. Vote your conscience and show up at the polls decisively so no one can try to take your vote away from you even if the current administration will try to do so and is actively trying to put a new Supreme Court Justice in the middle of an election to take away your right to elect the candidate of your choice.
Good night. May you all have Terlingua Dreams.
