LOW EARLY VOTING TURNOUT MADE WORSE BY PRIVATE SCHOOL FUNCTION

(Ed.'s Note: It's bad enough that the turnout in Brownsville had been less than 1,000 votes in the first three days days, but a function for the private Kenmont Montessori school behind the main library - the busiest voting site for local elections - made access to the site virtually impossible for potential voters. 

A voting clerk said that when they arrived to open the polls the rear library  parking lot facing the school was already packed.

"Im sure some votes were discouraged and left when they couldn't find parking because of the event over there," she said.

A cursory drive around a two-block area from Central Blvd., N. Coria Street, and Wildrose Lane showed that the area was clogged with traffic from parents and relatives of the private school students who were attending the function. Ironically, there are two bond propositions for improvements in the Brownsville Independent School District which may be adversely affected by the lack of voting access to the site.)

Kenmont Montessori one of the best schools here in Brownsville. Support this school. Do not blame it for not voting. You can vote tomorrow or later during the day.

Kenmont should invest in a parking lot. They take over the parking lot all the time.

Respeto a Sheinbaum, tremenda mujer, pero a México lo manejan los cárteles: Donald Trump

“Nos tenemos que defender de eso”, aseguró el presidente estadunidense en la Casa Blanca.

I'm voting for the Next President that kills ICE!

ICE has always been here with us. They have always arrested and sent illegal aliens home. Every President has done that. Now, the media follows them. The relatives take videos. All is normal.

In about 20 years you may have that opportunity.

BISD has a lot of money. They want money to fix the air conditioners and remodel schools. They want more money to build a Performing Arts Center. The Board and BISD have no vision. Every summer, they should maintain the schools: Clean, Paint, Fix. Every summer the schools are abandoned and two weeks before school begins they cut the grass etc
Performing Arts Center !!! For what? The City of Brownsville has museums, convention centers that are not used at all. They can also close the streets to showcase the students work in certain days. VOTE NO.

Ice was created after 9/11 by fascist bigots Everyone takes videos now and that's not weird. However, it's not normal for ICE to point guns at kids and adults who are no threat. You're delusional like Trump and the Republicans.

Commies afraid the people will vote against propositions 1 and 2.

Children much like adults can pose a threat. Children have been involved in warfare throughout history, often as child soldiers in various conflicts, such as the American Civil War and World War II. In modern times, it is estimated that around 300,000 children are currently serving as combatants in armed conflicts worldwide, making them a significant presence on the battlefield.

Enough with the oligarchy BS Bernie Sanders!!

BISD is for losers whose parents send them to school not to learn but to get fed and babysat while being disruptive in class. The lack of discipline by BISD administrators prevents kids from learning. As long as TEA pays for attendance and not productivity enrollment in other schools would be a better option.

The word kill is for ignorant losers. Who don't have the brain to resolve issues without thinking about violence.

Tremenda mujer para dar el culo. Primero al cartel y luego a Trump. Los cárteles mexicanos de la droga han estado involucrados en el narcotráfico y el crimen organizado durante varias décadas, pero su influencia significativa y sus conflictos violentos se intensificaron después de que el gobierno mexicano les declarara la guerra en diciembre de 2006. Este conflicto en curso ha durado casi 19 años, y las actividades de los cárteles se remontan aún más atrás. Hace que no le hecho la culpa a Trump. La culpa la lleva nalgas sueltas.

I heard that in Vietnam, the soldiers looked like kids....so American soldiers were not concerned, until the kid threw a bomb at the Americans.
