Took a little longer than usual, mostly due to the paper ballot that's created by the voting machine after you make all your selections. The paper ballot also creates a need for another device that you have to feed your ballot before you leave. The ballot reader designated for the group of voting machines the wife used broke down temporarily and created a fairly long line before it was fixed. I can see longer lines come Election Day given the paper ballot process being added to more selections to make in the voting booth. Still, I like having the paper ballots so that vote totals can be verified more easily and accurately.
I seldom vote early but was glad the wife and I did this time around.

No line for wife and me. In and out 5 minutes. Easy peasy! Go away Beto! Far away!
If you find yourself feeling useless, remember it took 20 years, trillions of dollars, and four presidents to replace the Taliban with the Taliban.
Sometimes the Universe puts you in the same situation again to see if you’re still a dumbass.

they should make the ballot so you can mark ALL REPUBLICAN. This would save a ton of time.

Because of their sheer hatred for Donald Trump, they were blindly voting for other candidates they knew absolutely about. It's how Harris County Judge Ed Emmett and several conservative County judicial judges all lost their re-elections, something that I'm sure happened across the state.

I went to the Grove In Frisco the new resort/center for adults 50 and over, We had electronic Fire station at FM423 and Stonebrook Parkway. Show ID, they give you a paper print out, color in the boxes (flat tip Sharpie makes quick work) and then scan the form.

Slower than it should have been, a bank of machines were out. Of course right as I was going to check in those machines came back to life.

Long line but theyebhad 24 machines. Might have been there 20 minutes. Got my DL renewed yesterday too and was in and out in 12 minutes.
Just to make sure that it is done thoroughly, I go both ways.
