Well, today was the first day of early voting in Texas and I cast my ballot. 
 

After much thought and consideration, I didn’t vote for anybody in the presidential race. 
 

I might have done differently if Texas were in play, but I just wanted to send a message-that MAGA has run its course and I (and likely other formerly dependable republicans) have had enough and won’t support this hateful nonsense any longer.

And you take Allred's word without question? FYI: Allred voted against "The 2023 Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act" which kept biological males out of girl's sports & locker rooms/shower

Encountered the longest early voting line yesterday, trying again today

Anti-MAGA across the board until GOP stops with the craziness and intruding on women’s healthcare

 

There’s been record turnout in a lot of places. Makes me wonder what’s motivating the bigger turnouts, then it hit me. It’s people who voted by mail last time showing up to vote in person this time. 
 

I just can’t see having an army of new, motivated voters turning out to vote MAGA. I think it’s gonna be over early on Election Day.

The system we have in place now doesn’t fix the bigger problem.  It needs to be rehauled with better oversight.

i get people have situations that arise and need help but the system has been abused to where now it is not trusted.

You either didn’t read all of it or your answer shows your maturity level.

keep killing those babies so you don’t have to feed them.

Get off your high horse, calling people baby killers lol 

I’m not proud of people wanting to or want the right to kill a baby…..so it’s definitely not a high horse…..

can you not handle the truth.  Do you want me to use other terms so it doesn’t seem humane and pull on one’s feeling…..abortion, fetus, embryo, etc etc.

I sincerely hope you voted Allred. No confirmation expected.

Is it cool if the church is a Mosque? I mean, if you’re a two parent hard working financially responsible family.

MAGA will top out at 43% max.  Fewer voters will turn out for Trump this time, maybe fewer than 2016.  The enthusiasm factor is virtually nonexistent in the Republican Party right now. Trump’s rallies are low energy and the stuff he talks about will thrill most of the 43% but it’s not going to pick any new votes up. His third tour with the same (even more) extreme act is bombing this time. That coupled with the fact that the DNC has probably a 10-1 advantage over the RNC in the number of campaign field offices nationally indicates that a well organized  boots on the ground strategy is going to outperform Lara’s social media and boat parade strategy.  I think it may be over by the time the polls close in the Central time zone.

I know we’re a microcosm out here, but early voting was up about 30% in Hardin County… and I expect it to still go to Trump by 90% or so. I don’t know what to think about that, and I don’t know if it holds true across the nation.  
 

It might just be people opting to vote early, or it might be new voters. It’s going to be interesting to watch the totals. 
 

We’ll have lots of answers in less than two weeks.

I saw one of those KBMT polls where you could pick who you're voting for, and it was about 76/24 for the Donald.

Have you been watching where Kamala is campaigning?

Have you been looking at the trends in polling?

Even CNN recognizes Trump is currently surging.....

      To the Fans Who Complain About Referees

      By Preach · Posted

      I get it!!  I was once in your shoes. I was that person in the stands, loudly complaining about “bad officiating.” Now, with the rise of social media, it’s easier than ever to voice these criticisms online.  I thought I could see every call better than the officials on the floor. Then someone said to me, “If you can do better, get in the game.”   That challenge changed my life. Over 20 years ago, I became a basketball official, and what I’ve learned since then is eye-opening.   Officiating is not just about making calls. It’s about managing the game, the players, the coaches, and yes, the fans. We face a new generation of student-athletes who have been raised in a culture where everyone gets a trophy and losing is almost taboo. We deal with fans who question our integrity and sometimes become outright hostile.   I acknowledge that officials aren’t perfect; we have off days just like anyone else. However, the increasing hostility from fans is driving many to leave officiating. According to the National Federation of High School Associations, approximately 50,000 high school officials have left the profession since the 2018-19 season, with fan behavior being a significant factor.    Here’s the reality: without officials, there is no game.   So, instead of tearing down the people who make your games possible, here’s a suggestion:   • Thank the officials for being part of the game. • Thank them for the countless hours they spend studying rules, mastering mechanics, and working to improve. • Thank them for their patience with privilege-minded athletes and overly aggressive fans.   Next time you see an official, instead of criticizing, take a moment to say, “Thank you.” They’re out there to make the game happen, and trust me, it’s not as easy as it looks from the stands.   If you think you can do better, take the challenge like I did. Get in the game. You might just discover how much it takes to blow that whistle.
