I voted on Saturday with about an hour left before the polls closed. There was a first-time voter. I know this because the election officials made an announcement, and everyone in the room applauded. It was actually a sweet moment.

It’s funny that Dallas County Sooners and Aggies will have to sport the mascot of the University of Texas should they wear it.
