Friday

I’m in a rural area, very red, outside San Antonio.

There was literally a red sticker that said “Republican” and a blue sticker that said “Democratic” and you were asked to point to the ballot you wanted. That way no one heard your choice. I thought that was pretty creative.

Three votes for Talarico, also!
