Early voting begins across Texas Feb. 16, including 17 locations within Fort Bend County. Early Voting sites are scattered throughout the county and are near to the major commuter routes used by Fort Bend County Residents. The Early Voting period ends on Feb. 26. The Primary Election will be held March 2.
Eligible voters of Fort Bend County may vote at any of the 17 early voting sites and, unlike absentee voting by mail, no reason need be given for voting early.
When voting early, or on Election Day, voters will be asked to select between the primary ballots of the two major parties which will be nominating candidates for the November General Election.
Identification is required in order to vote. Voters should be prepared to show their voter registration certificate or Texas Driver’s license, or other form of ID before voting.
One new location has been added for this election. Aliana Clubhouse at the intersection of West Bellfort and new FM 1464 will replace Garica Middle School as an Early Voting location. A complete list of the county’s Early Voting sites may be found at the county’s election website, http://www.fortbendvotes.org/. Other election information, including Election Day polling places and sample ballots, is also available on line.

Yes it was pretty funny. It is very hard to get the vendor feeders to stop their bad corporate welfare habits, even in retirement.
LOL

I won’t go to the debate Thursday but I will attend the one next Friday. Why because I’m informed.

‘I watched one guy follow us on a golf cart in one neighborhood pulling materials off peoples doors.’
Ha! That is pretty funny.

We will be attending the last debate as we were present at all the others viewpt. We may be a little late though since the block-walking will continue through early voting and we will be out Thursday before the meeting. We’ve netted about 16,000 homeowners/voters/taxpayers since early January and we are just one of several groups. People really don’t like some of the candidates after you show them the law violations, campaign finance reports, and the subsequent news on them. Many are just to busy commuting and admit not having the time to follow the local reports. Some even claimed they often go to the polls and just pull the lever for one party or the other rather than doing their own homework. I watched one guy follow us on a golf cart in one neighborhood pulling materials off peoples doors. He was rather old, balding and had a “look” about him. On the way back up the street we replaced the ones he had taken and talked to a few of his neighbors. He apparently was with the HOA board and was ardently backing one of the candidates. Hopefully we can hit a few more thousand from now through early voting. More candidates need to get out and hit the streets. I think if some of them did they would find it harder to sell out their community when the backroom deals roll around.
It was pretty entertaining.

I do my homework and I’m proud to say I wasn’t fooled in the 2008 election.
