ROUNDING UP THE DEMOCRATIC FAITHFUL TO GO VOTE























By Juan Montoya
Democrats this morning were taking the motto of vote early (and vote often?) to heart early today, the first day of early voting.
This morning courthouse visitors saw Democratic Party faithful rallying around their candidate for county judge Joe Rivera (behind Gabino Vasquez in his quintessential pose with the white hat on the cell phone). Among the faithful who lined up to show Rivera their support were former elections administrator Roger Ortiz (in the white shirt with back toward camera) as well as a number of elected officials  and their staff.
County workers are often allowed to go vote during their break, although someone pointed out that collective efforts may not qualify as such. Voting was also brisk at the main library on Central Blvd., one of the busiest polling sites in all of Cameron County.

I went to vote this morning at the BISD administration building. There were only two people in front of me, there was enough parking space for people that wanted to early vote. The people in the elections area were very nice, they asked for a picture ID (showed my driver's license)and my voter registration card. They gave me one ballot, I filled in, placed vote on an orange box and left. It took less than 10 minutes.

Not a very good picture Juan. You should have stopped and focused your camera flip phone that Chris Valdes gave you. Chris proabably took it away from his little girl to give it to you and bought her the I phone 6 with the money he swindles.

I voted early at the San Benito municipal building. I voted straight Republican ticket.

Yes it was Chris Valadez the corrupt with his partner in crime Arnold Flores, aren't you guys breaking policy rules on county time and the judge has you taking pictures to make things seem different than what they are. You all need to stop stealing money from the taxpayers and get to work, I've seen you doing things like politiciando on county time. You need to get your asses fire
