Standing in line in Texas this was observed by a follower. Very disappointing and troubling experience at the polls this morning.
My husband and I had the opportunity to stand in line right in front of Governor Abbott to cast our ballot.
U.S. Congressman Roger Williams and State Representative Paul Workman were also there to cast their ballot alongside him, and State Senator Donna Campbell was there to support all of them.
While waiting in line, Sen Campbell started talking about what she wanted her district to look like after the next round of redistricting, and that she wanted to swap some of her district's precincts with Senator Zaffirini's.
The Governor's response to this was, "Don't worry, we'll take care of Travis County." Congressman Williams then chimed in about how he wanted more of Tarrant County, because that's where his car dealerships were. Talk about conflicts of interest!!!
Never in my life have I been more sickened by the lack of respect displayed this morning by these elected officials. They stood there, in public, and discussed manipulating our right to vote while standing in line to vote.<end>
