I don’t recall really thinking about the racial makeup of the polling station, but certainly my zip code is pretty racially diverse, which white people just making up the majority. But again, a relatively wealthy area so much of that diversity was not economic.
But it was a gym, it had a reasonable about of polling booths, and I waited only a brief time. Each time I went to vote. My biggest complaint about voting in Texas is the overwhelming number of things that are up for elections.
Good to hear y’all were able to vote in the way it’s intended to be. It’s not like that everywhere in Texas.
And yeah lots of positions in local government are elected, especially problematic are the judges and coroners elections, also I’d rather we appoint judges. Sheriff’s should be appointed and vetted for short 4 year terms instead of electing them.

Sure I understand that, which is why I was seeking their experience.
