I personally think that criminalizing free speech is ridiculous. Can I wear an NRA shirt? Why can't I carry?

From the article you linked:

Third-degree felony
Going to a polling place for any purpose other than to vote, or talking to anyone about how others voted.

Class C misdemeanors


Using a loudspeaker or other voice-amplifying device to make a political speech or promote a candidate or political party within 1,000 feet of a polling place during voting.

And from the Houston Chronicle today http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/ ... ocid=ientp

Just moments later, O'Rourke was across the street firing up his supporters with a bullhorn.

"Are y'all ready?" O'Rourke said to a cascade of cheers. "Houston, I love you."

Exactly how wide was that street? And unless Robert Francis was voting there, how did he not also commit a third degree felony?

Did you see BETO shirts at the polling place? I was going to wear my MAGA hat buy I thought that political clothing was not allowed.

During the Republican primary election I voted for Jerry Patterson but George P. Bush won and I'm not liking what he's planning for the Alamo.

+1. That is the only reason I'm not voting straight ticket. I can't stomach G.P. Bush and the "Re-Imagine the Alamo" garbage.

+2. That is one of several races where I will not be voting republican.

In fairness, I am not a republican, though, so it shouldn't be a huge shock that I'm not voting straight ticket for any party.

For your poll to be accurate you have to assume that members who are not motivated enough to vote will be motivated enough to respond to this poll. That could be a potential flaw.

I will be voting in at least one race.

My rule is that I only vote in races where I know something about the positions of at least one candidate, and I also have a basic understanding of the position they are running for. So I usually vote in about half the races, sometimes less.

I will definitely be voting for the Hispanic candidate for US Senator. That much I know for sure. We have way too many White Irishmen in Washington already!
