I made it there. I voted. I am a pessimist and fully expect the pumpkin-head prexydink to win reelection and then succeed in dooming planet Earth. But I got my one little vote against him cast and counted. I no longer have to feel like our collective ultimate doom is all my fault. And I probably didn’t even catch COVID.
The polling precinct I was assigned to is in the middle of white-racist suburbia where threatening Ilhan Omar with deportation or death is a favorite sport watched nightly on Fox News. I fully expected an hours-long wait to vote, since there are black and Hispanic voters not far from here that have to take a day of work (if they are lucky enough to still have a job) to wait seven to eleven hours just to get in the door. And last time Trump supporters were riotous and jubilant in voting en mass, intent on sticking it to Hillary. It was crowded.
This time… no lines and very subdued. I voted in less than ten minutes after arriving.
I wonder. Are they ashamed to vote for him again? Or are they all on ventilators after the last Trump rally?
I am not gloating. I fully expect to lose again. Nothing gets you a political victory faster than corruptly giving the keys to the kingdom to your rich donors with unlimited dark money. But it is important to be on the right side even if you are doomed to lose the war.
Anyway, I did it. As hard as it was to climb that hill and vote at the top, it was a pleasant stroll on the way back home.

Trump has lost a lot of his luster. Texas is now thought a battleground state. Only a couple points in the polls difference.
I hope Biden wins it. Senator Cornyn needs to be replaced too in Texas. I voted for the man once upon a time. But he’s definitely sold his soul to somebody since then.
Mickey, the Texas governor has gained a well-earned reputation as a cheater. I guess he was jealous of the cheating Georgia governor’s reputation. Keith
Good point! I have always assumed that because Abbott is the smarter criminal he deserves to win the contest as most evil. But the governors of Florida and Georgia are in a tight race for second.
