EARLY VOTING ON: CANDIDATES, COUNTRY'S FATE AT STAKE

(Ed.'s Note: This was the scene this morning the Cameron County Courthouse on Harrison Street as early voting in the 2016 general election got under way. Voters seem aware that they are participating in an historical election where the possibility of a first woman president being elected is a very real possibility. Locally, there are a few contested races between a resurgent Republican Party and yellow-dog Democrats. At the Brownsville Independent School District, 19 candidates are vying for four positions (a majority) on the school board. Will it be Hillary or Trump who will take the White house? And will voters turn out and elect new board members to replace the existing majority? You, too, can make a difference. Vote.)
