I early voted on Wednesday (10/20) after work, at the Randall's store in a suburb just west of Austin. They'd had nearly 900 on Monday, and over 1200 on Tuesday - many times the turnout they'd had in the primaries.

Lots of down-ballot races for judges, justice of the peace, board of education, etc. Generally it's difficult to find out much about the candidates, and all too often they sound the same.

Generally when a candidate is "unopposed" I leave that ballot blank, or if his ONLY competition is the Libertarian, I vote "L."

Oh, as I was voting, there was a woman on a cell phone in line . . . from what I could hear of her conversation, she was trying to find out if her friend's husband was joining hers to go hog hunting!
