SAN ANGELO, TX — Early voting turnout in Tom Green County is seeing significant numbers ahead of the November 5 General Election, with a total of 14,481 voters having cast their ballots by Friday morning.

According to Tom Green County Elections Administrator Vona Hudson, the daily breakdown shows 3,336 voters on Monday, 3,643 on Tuesday, 3,468 on Wednesday, and 3,274 on Thursday. By mid-morning Friday, voter turnout had already reached 760.

“This is a high number for us,” Hudson said, adding that it is one of the busiest elections Tom Green County has experienced in recent history.

Statewide, Texas is experiencing record turnout levels. Earlier, we reported that the Texas Secretary of State’s Office confirmed more than 870,000 Texans voted in person on Monday, the first day of early voting.

Hudson also reminded voters of regulations in place at polling stations, including prohibitions on electioneering and the use of cell phones or recording devices. Curbside voting is available at all polling places for voters unable to physically enter the location, Hudson said.

Well, everyone went to go cast their votes for Kamala, whether they wanted to or not. Even as a child, I always knew I would be assasinated by some agency acting as a secret police force when the government finally broke apart. That day is drawing nigh.

Thank you folks for tolerating my commentary here as long as you have. I would ask those of you within whichever agency has been tasked with my elimination to please be kind to my family. I know some of you do have a conscience and doubts regarding this new phase of the American project.

When my posts disappear from here, know that I am gone, taken into custody and tortured because of my outspoken disposition and love of democracy and the American people.

Don't cry for me, West Texas. The truth is, I never left you. All through my wild days, my mad existence, I kept my promise. Don't keep your distance
