My sister and I voted today in Texas. [View all]

We both voted for Talarico.

In Dallas, where she voted, they separated Democrats
and Republicans into separate voting lines. That
worries both of us, in case Trump agents show up for
the general.

Here in Austin, they didn't do that. We just selected our
party ballot on the entry screen, then got the ballot. Nobody
watching would know our party affiliation I hope it stays
that way.
