Fake news Eileen. The polls have ended at 7 PM in Texas forever. I didn’t Google it but it’s forever trust me. The precinct conventions have always started shortly after. It is possible you have found the people running for office so icky that your mind made you miss it. Please don’t miss the General 🧡

I got a robo-call saying that the polls didn't close until 10pm.

For the first time in my life, I voted in the Republican primary. “”Today, I’m a Republican,” I announced loudly to the young woman who checked my I.d. Simultaneously, I rolled my eyes upward with so much vigor I almost passed out. Think we had a meeting of the minds.

As it turns out, I didn’t pick one winner of the least-egregious category. But I like to think I didn’t abase myself.

Anyway, at least I voted!

I've been voting for Hillary Clinton since 2000.

I live in the Democratic-held part of Beaumont. My Rep. Christian Manuel won. But the TV spot lie-off between McDade Phelan and David Covey will continue. Covey supposedly lied about being a lawyer (why not a doctor or Native-American chief?) Phelan says the speakership belongs to SE Texas. Did I miss something? I’ll just keep sending 5-spots to Allred, so maybe that will keep my mind off “That mess next door.”

What do you call a lawyer at the bottom of the ocean?
