I've voted! Chime in when you early vote!

The line was out the door for at least an hour when I was there.

We have a really weird "choose your ballot card" thing this time around. The ballots have serial numbers for this election, so the poll workers are shuffling about 25-50 at a time and then the voter chooses their blank card out of five random numbered ballots.

Remember to shut off your cell phone and smart watches capable of recording!

Have a great time voting Kamala Harris in and blocking Donald Trump from victory!

No outdoor line; single roped line moved very quickly indoors. Voters well spaced, some were masked, but I've had my flu and all covid booster (even a stylus for each voter for contactless touch screen ballots) and the poll workers were friendly, efficient and helpful.

I'll pick an afternoon later in the week to actually stop and vote. Great to see the turnout here in the Houston area!

I'm hearing from several old friends around the state that there are significant lines to wait in, today.

Was in the for a little over an hour and happy about the lines. Everyone was in a good mood. A friend at work voted Monday and said he was in the for 4 hours.
