I tried to go vote, but by the time I got there, the line at my precinct was WRAPPED AROUND the building of the school and there was no way I could have waited. goddamit. I didn't see early voting anywhere, but I really wanted to vote against prop. 15. Not that I hate people with cancer, but the proposed plan isn't good enough. The money wouldn't go to where it's needed and that pisses me off.
Also, I wanted to vote against the transportation bonds (prop. 12) because it's more of Texas refusing to find a decent plan for our roads (even though I would vote for a proposition that would throw every person who wasn't 1) born here, or 2) been a resident here for more than 10 years, or 3) married someone who is one of the aforementioned criterion, out of the state which would help the traffic problem quite a bit)... seriously... Mike Krusee is the biggest brain dead waste of space moron ever. Please, god, please... Vote him out of office Williamson County! I hates him, Precious.
Other things I was looking forward to voting on:
Prop 1. - FOR.
Prop 2. - Very much FOR.
Prop 3. - FOR.
Prop 4. - So AGAINST it hurts! What the eff are you people thinking over there in that beautiful pink granite building? Did you live under powerlines as a kid?!
Prop 5. - eh. Doesn't really affect me, but could help someone else out. FOR.
Prop 6. - AGAINST. Stop giving money away to people who don't need it. kthxbai.
Prop 7. - FOR, even though they shouldn't have to buy their land back, they should just get it back from the dirty land snatching bastards.
Prop 8. - Once again... could be of use for someone else and doesn't really affect anyone 'cept greedy corporate bastards. FOR.
Prop 9. - FOR. Them fellas deserve it.
Prop 10. - Huh? I don't even know what this is, or really understand it. What I do know is that the last thing we need is ANOTHER position in our state government. AGAINST.
Prop 11. - FOR. Easy man.
Prop 13. - I want to be for this, but being that a personal friend of mine is considered a domestic abuser for the most ridiculous circumstances ever, I'd hate for someone in his position to be affected. AGAINST.
Prop 14. - Stop trying to help your buddies stay in power. AGAINST.
Prop 16. - Wastewater services are very important. This should go without saying. FOR.

Polls!
So, I think my first poll went okay. A new one will be up for another two weeks, so don't forget to vote!
Just for posterity:
Should literacy tests be brought back to be allowed to vote?
-Yes! Voters should be able to be informed by more than TV before voting! 3 votes
-Eh... sure voters should be more informed, but they shouldn't have to pass a test to prove it. 3 votes
-No! Bring back a poll tax too if you want to keep disenfranchising voters. 3 votes
Total Votes: 9
The reason I even bothered to ask is because I was wondering... what is worse? Someone who doesn't vote, or a voter who doesn't know what is going on in the world. I'm sure there are all points of gray areas to be covered, but I feel like an uninformed voter is worse. At least someone who doesn't vote isn't pulling something either way, but there are some jackasses that will go and vote straight ticket out of obligation and not pay attention to the world they are creating by doing so.
That felt good. I'm gonna make another poll now and then resume writing my english paper.
