First time I've ever come close to voting a complete straight ticket ...

The only offices I didn't vote for the Democrat didn't have Democratic candidates. I voted for an unopposed Republican Judge because I know him personally and I'd trust him if anybody I knew had to stand in front of him. He told me he'd never vote for Paxton so I know we got at least one Democratic vote from him. I also know he loathes Cruz and cheetolini.

When I had the choice between a Libertarian or a Republican I left it blank.

I feel a lot calmer now. I missed the last two local elections somehow and was worried somehow my voter registration was expired. This election is the most important election I've ever voted in. 2020 will become the most important but only once we win this one. This rates right up there with the feelings I had enlisting in the Navy in '72 and I signed a waiver of my protections under the Bill of Rights to come under the UCMJ. Different conclusions but but significant events.

Anybody needing a ride to the polls in Burnet county, PM me, have six passenger vehicle, will travel.
