Thank you, fren! :-)

Ditto. I know someone in Kingwood, I think it was, that processed 4k people that first day in their small area

My wife and i voted yesterday in tarrant County and they had no stickers as well.

Good job! Yep, it was roughly a 2-hour wait in Fort Bend county too (10/21 & 10/22) in the mid-afternoon way before the beginning of p.m. rush hour. I can't imagine how horrid the line was once people went to vote after work.

Awesome! I used to live in WilCo and got to watch the head precinct captain do the daily early voting wrap-up and reconciliation of ballots cast that day (this was in 2022). I was interested in being a poll worker or watcher and asked if I could observe some of the operations to get a feel for how it all works. She was very gracious and let me watch her daily wrap-up process, even explaining what she was doing as she did it.

One of the big things I liked in their process (at my former precinct polling place in WilCo) was that each night, she reconciled the number of voters they had (with those daily voter counts even posted on the outside door) to the number of printed ballots submitted to make sure they match.

An interesting tidbit I learned from my time spent with her was that she said they remove all the paper ballots every night from each polling location and take them to the main county election office (I think that would be in Georgetown).

Oooooh, NICE! =-)

Yeah, I've seen a bunch of "news articles" claiming that the massive voter turnout (particularly across high population blue cities) is going to help Comrade Kamala. But I don't believe their spin.

My view is that complacent/content people who like what's happening our country/the world are less likely to vote (a.k.a. keep the current regime) and people who are unhappy with the state of our country/the world are more likely to vote.

Another huge factor is "voter enthusiasm" for their candidate, IMO. Our GEOTUS has voter enthusiasm out the wazoo, evidenced by his colossal rallies. Whereas, Kamala is paying event attendees and bringing them in on buses from other cities, and even trotting out Hussein to try and shame the "bruthas" into voting for Commie Harris by implying their lack of enthusiasm for her is because of her gender - LOL!

Beto O'Rourke wasn't on the ballot this time around, thank God.

You're so right. :-( I used to live in Tarrant county (during the 2020 election) and found out about that Smartmatic mo-fo being brought in. Tarrant county is (historically) red as blood - but it magically went for Biden in 2020, thanks to that SoB!

Looks like the Dallas county steal may already be underway with "wrong ballots being printed" thing that started on 10/21. What wasn't clear to me about that report though was if they're talking about voting machines in Dallas county "printing wrong ballots" or if the election workers are handing voters inaccurate paper ballots that list the wrong candidates or races for their precinct - something like that?

Everywhere in Texas that I've voted (across 5 different counties), voters get a BLANK piece of scan-tron type of paper (long skinny piece of paper that looks like a large 'ticket') and insert it into the voting machine to begin the process. Voters do their candidate selections on a computer screen, then after confirming your answers/choices the voter prints out all their selections onto their scan-tron type of piece of paper that becomes their ballot. In every experience I've had voting across Texas for decades, the ballot piece of paper doesn't have any races or candidates listed on it until AFTER the voter selects them on the machine and then prints their ballot out once they've made all their voting selections.

Possibly, there are some counties in Texas that use paper ballots with the candidates/races listed on them and voters mark the paper ballot by hand, but I have never seen that process in Dallas county and have previously voted there for decades.

So I'm wondering about this Dallas county "printing wrong ballots" sitch if what that REALLY means is the printout of the ballots (after voters select their candidates on the screen) isn't matching how the voter chose for each race on the screen. As in, the voting machines are CHANGING their selections before voters print out their own ballots. If that's the case, then those (vote swapped) paper ballots would get scanned and tabulate votes cast for someone other than the voters' intention AND the ballot 'paper trail' would reflect actual votes for those UNintended candidates too.

Well, I was watching/looking for 'visible' things such as buses in the polling place's parking lot, large groups of people arriving together to vote, people waiting in line who aren't speaking English/talking in a foreign language, people in the line who look out of place, voters arguing with the election workers about providing an ID or being rejected from voting, election workers coaching or encouraging voters to choose certain candidates, looking for electronic devices (like Wi-Fi/internet devices) in the room, examining if the ballot scanner/container box's door was closed and key-locked, and watching the ballot tabulator machine and some sort of election software screen on a nearby computer to see if any "vendor" or election worker started using or tampering with it.

I double-checked the screen as I was making my candidate selections to see if any of my choices changed, and checked again in the summary screens to make sure none of my selections were altered before printing my ballot, and then confirmed that each race had my selected candidate listed on my paper ballot before I took it to the scanner machine.

I also monitored the process of how the poll workers verified IDs / addresses / voter registrations prior to handing people a ballot. And I watched tons of voters carry their own printed ballots themselves to the tabulator machine and insert it into the scanner with nobody else touching their ballot. Things like that. :-)
