Just early voted in TX. Felt so good!

4th in line when they opened at 7a

You put your ID in an empty aluminum pie plate. They look you up in a computer. The computer guy did not have his mask over his nose! You get a receipt with a 4 digit code. Move on, and sign the ledger. They tell you to keep the pen, compliments of the county. Woohoo.

Somehow my machine was stuck on spanish. So I just looked for Democratico. Mayor and some positions have no party affiliation. BTW, Texas got rid of straight party voting.

Machines extremely antiquated. You have to dial to correct spot then hit enter. They give you a pencil to hit "enter" but can't dial with a pencil.

All in all, been waiting 4 years to cast a vote against Covid-45 and it is a great day!

White House Security Official Contracted Covid-19 in September

(Bloomberg) -- A top White House security official, Crede Bailey, is gravely ill with Covid-19 and has been hospitalized since September, according to four people familiar with his condition.

The White House has not publicly disclosed Bailey’s illness. He became sick before the Sept. 26 Rose Garden event President Donald Trump held to announce his Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett that has been connected to more than a dozen cases of the disease.

A White House spokesman declined to comment on Bailey. He is in charge of the White House security office, which handles credentialing for access to the White House and works closely with the U.S. Secret Service on security measures throughout the compound.

A career federal employee who has seldom appeared in the news, Bailey was swept up in a controversy last year over security clearances granted to Trump’s daughter, Ivanka Trump, and son-in-law Jared Kushner. Bailey privately testified to the House Oversight Committee that he didn’t face pressure from others at the White House to grant clearances, according to a report by The Hill.
