@lyndonbajohnson I really hope Paxton agrees to debate.

[Laura Dew @Caffein8dChick]

@lyndonbajohnson We moved into the 18th shortly after Mickey’s death, so voted for Craig and SJL a lot of times. Don’t live in it anymore (redistricting. Same house 18th -> 2nd -> 7th). Supported Talarico but like Jasmine and would have been thrilled to vote for her in the general.

@Johngcole Also red-heads.

@jen_rice_ A lot of schools use election day as a chance to do bake sale fundraisers for the PTO.

@saracress I’m watching from my couch across the bayou from you. Love to see the energy.

Trust Evan. Stop waiting for shorter lines in order to vote.

@DanaHoule The Chronicle is reporting 1 million people signed up for the rally (for a stadium that holds 22k). I am sure some are fake but that is a lot of emails and phone numbers for dem organizers.

[Laura Dew @Caffein8dChick]

@DanaHoule I agree. I also really believe there's a solid group of older Americans who were absolutely appalled by January 6th. I don't know how quantifiable the number is.

[Laura Dew @Caffein8dChick]

@lyndonbajohnson I’ve been in the 18th, the 2nd and now the 7th without ever moving.

@DanaHoule @trowaman I never thought I would see the day where a Democratic senate candidate was running on abortion access. The Colin Allred ads are everywhere and on everything.

[Laura Dew @Caffein8dChick]

@DanaHoule @trowaman I have only anecdote but I did a lot of voter registration shifts (admittedly Houston and Austin) at community colleges. The male students mainly did not care; the young women wanted to check registration and make sure they were registered.

@gratifihouston @HarrisVotes @harrisdemocrats I got my Covid shot after and the clerk at Walgreens asked where she could vote nearby. Benefit of the sticker!

[Laura Dew @Caffein8dChick]

The @HarrisVotes tool is not really working for line length. That’s ok! I’m at SPJST and happy to wait in line to vote for @harrisdemocrats.

@gratifihouston @CenterPoint The truck of death you caught in traffic is the cherry on that not-nice sundae.

[Laura Dew @Caffein8dChick]

And he won't answer the moderators' questions.

[Laura Dew @Caffein8dChick]

Watching the cruz-allred debate. Cruz is so smarmy.

[Laura Dew @Caffein8dChick]

@thisisroxanne @ChronOpinion I haven't voted against a school bond ever. But it's too big and there's too little accountability. I hope in two years they can do another bond when we have an elected school board and some say as taxpayers/voters.

@mattlanza We’re in Rhode Island, not our usual Houston. So excited to see the sky show.
