They should realize that hanging people brings back too many memories of Bad poo poo in our history. The people responsible for Houston's Toll Roads not just being regular highways should be drawn and quartered. also lol @ sema and the conspiracy theory stuff It's kind of a shame, I liked her stated policy positions (even if she is pretty much destined to be destroyed by beto anyways)

Anyone who says he's not committed to the DREAMers at all is either a nutter, an uninformed idiot, or disingenuous.

Remember they'd have the 10m kids on CHIP go without healthcare while the government remains shut down so they'd feel good about how the ReTHUGlicans are feeling sad.

Just voted for district 10, a good line had built up as I was casting the ballot so perhaps that's something to be optimistic about. Or maybe not, we'll find out soon enough.

I'm definitely hoping for possible-literal-angel-Wakely though.

The newspaper is (was) owned by Cox, but the land the newspaper plant is on is actually owned by the family that owns Cox. I should know, I sent them an email trying to convert the site to a soccer stadium. They haven't printed the Statesman there in years.

Two of Abbott's handpicked candidates are losing to Sarah Davis and Lyle Larson, Cindy Burkett is beating complete nut job Bob Hall and Kel Seliger, one of the last moderate Republicans in the Senate is beating his Tea Party challengers.

Having a hearty laugh at the early TX-02 results showing Kathaleen Wall pissing away $6 million of her own money just to lose the primary but that's cut short by Todd Litton aka Decorum: The Candidate winning the democrat primary. I got one final Kathaleen Wall mailer today a full page of Uncle Sam telling me true conservatives will vote for her or some bullshit. What's the percent to avoid a runoff? Oh this only one precinct on the Texas Tribune page but still. https://apps.texastribune.org/elections/2018/primary-election-results/ https://www.nytimes.com/elections/results/texas-primary-election

Did my part and voted earlier. When I got to the polling station I pointed out the Democratic party and I'm guessing so few people there had done that because the lady there made sure that the guy next to her knew to grab the correct paper. Then that guy told me "If you're interested, your people are having a convention in a couple of weeks" and handed me a flyer. I'm white.

I voted early at the county elections office so I didn't get any lols. But my brother voted today at a church. Note the interior of the church was where the Republicans voted, while the Democrats were sent to some trailers on the church property. As he was walking a woman leaving the church, redirected toward the trailers, said "they're making us vote in the trailers!"

Apparently some nearby neighborhoods have different polling locations than me (mine are an elementary and middle school for D and R respectively) and the republican one is a funeral home. A bunch of suburban moms on Nextdoor were very upset about those dastardly democrats making them go to such a morbid location (sickos!). The omnipotent Texas Democratic Party strikes again.

Sadly the bowtie wearing dipshit from my district is entirely uncontested because there really isn't a D or R other than Americas number #1 Conservative who wants to run in most of the whiter parts of Baytown, Highlands/Crosby, and LaPorte.
