Hey, I'm still registered in Denton County but my DL address is in Dallas county. As long as I go to a Denton County voting location I'm good right? They don't check the address on the license just the photo ID part?

BREYER: Actually, Antonin, you got it backwards. See, a power bottom is actually generating all the dissents by doing most of the work.

SCALIA: Stephen, I've heard that speed has something to do with it.

The district 121 race sure seems interesting. I've never seen so many ads for a State House Seat during the primary. Judson and Straus are really going at it.

The new right hates Strauss.

There's a pretty hot one over here in 14 as well. The challenger, Jess Fields, a frothy type former libertarian being backed by the insano wing, was recently revealed as having made a series of harassing phone calls to Bill Flores' local office here impersonating a county official some years back to try and accomplish I have no idea what. Flores office in DC is demanding an apology, but he was denying it was even him before finally copping to it and claiming it was all a joke. Apparently one lost on the poor intern that was on the receiving end. With early voting having already been underway when this all came out, who knows if it will change anything. If people are even paying attention.

I'm in 118 which should flip back to Democrat, but right now my Google Ads and TV are just smothered with Strauss ads. He has to be spending a fortune.

The little newsprint voter's guide they had by the early voting stations had nothing but "Did not send a response in time for printing." under the name of every single Democrat candidate for anything. Registered as an independent, I'm not even sure if I'm allowed to go and try to vote for the least stupid Republican in the primaries.

Poop balls.

There is no party registration here. Primaries are open, just pick whichever you want to vote in.

If the local paper does a voting guide (that isn't just endorsements), I'd check there.

They opened an In-and-Out on South Lamar that I've been to a couple of times. I don't think the food is all that amazing but they run a pretty tight ship (and pay $12/hour so less exploitative!)

I wasn't planning on voting in the primary because I don't have a preference between Bernie and Hillary, but my hatred of Cruz is so strong that I might just vote for Trump...

If you do early voting, you can.

At least that's true for general election stuff.

e: well by district do you mean congressional/state district, or just the local precinct? I mean the latter.

I don't know. I want to vote on campus but when I registered to vote I lived 3 miles south of campus so its a different precinct

Then yeah, I don't know about primaries but for early voting in the general they should let you do that.

We just moved and my roommate changed his address and only has his temp non-photo license. He's a mega responsible citizen and it's really stressing him out that he can't vote. I told him that I'm sure disenfranchising gay Democrats is probably just an unintended consequence.

What County?

In Travis I know that a registered voter can vote at literally any polling location. The computer system serves up the right ballot for you address and marks that you've voted in the central database so you can't try and vote twice.

True. But i'm actually considering voting in the Republican primary for Trump here in Austin just to see if my one vote'll be enough to gently caress over Cruz. It's not like we're going to go blue in the general, so why not see about weakening the field everywhere else?

Actually, if Trump beats Cruz by one vote, it will be my vote. Not yours
