TIS, I always early vote. That way I can take my time. As with CA, the Texas ballot is usually replete with Constitutional Amendments, so it takes awhile to go through it. Also, Texas has the long Ballot because all public offices are elective.
That is the advantage Oli. I received first a sample ballot, going over all the propositions a couple weeks ago. Unfortunately I didn't go thru it. But, within the next few days I plan to have it in the mail. Damn, it's like doing homework.
