You always point out how knowledgeable you are about everything concerning LTC and 2nd Amendment in Texas, "friends in DPS", etc.
You are basically a broken record, saying the same things over and over without being able to articulate reasonable arguments for your positions and do not answer questions put to you by people on this forum who don't agree with your statements.
For these reasons I will not "bash away" at you - I will simply ignore you and anything you have to say on this forum in the future.

went yesterday after work in Pasadena.

I got in line outside at about 5:10, got indoors about about 6:15, Got to the voting machine about 7:10. I decided that I would present my LTC as ID to see how the check-in person would respond. I was polite and said "good evening" then I presented my LTC. She asked me if I had my driver's license, and I said "yes, I do." She asked if I minded if she used that instead, and I said "not at all". So I took back my LTC and handed over my driver's license. I wonder if I was the first person she'd seen try to vote using an LTC. Either way, I wasn't going to question her or argue that it is valid ID. She had a sign right in front of her that showed images of all 7 types of valid photo ID. So I know that she knew that it was valid.

There were probably 150 people still in line behind me. One woman had on a Hillary hat. I didn't see any other political clothes.

I thought that it was interesting that at the entrance they had a tiny sign with tiny print that said that cell phones were prohibited. They had one lady inside the building telling people not to use their phones. Lots of people still on their phones anyway... One man asked her why, and she said "because it's the law".

As soon as I got in line the man in front of me looked at me and said "you look like you must be a republican". I was a little stunned, and jokingly said "well, that's none of your business", but yes I am voting republican. He was a union working, retirement eligible, pre-Vietnam marine corps veteran lifelong democrat and told me that this was the first election that he had ever registered as a republican and was voting for a republican. He said that in 2012, his union pretty much told them who to vote for and he went along with it, but later decided that it was a big mistake. Just an anecdote, but I know that there was at least two Trump voters and at least one Hillary voter there.
