The lines are long outside the Hidalgo County Courthouse in this 1913 photo. Today, almost a hundred years later, the lines are equally long as elections got off to a good start outside the Hidalgo County courthouse.
I voted early this morning. Unusually long lines confronted me and the other voters on this first day of this historic election. Thereafter I joined in the traditional early vote rally at Ramon Garcia office. He always puts on a good event. Ramon invited me to share a few words with the audience. I joined County Judge Ramon Garcia, Veronica Gonzales, Dori Contreras, Linda Yañez, and Hidalgo County Democratic Chair Dolly Elizondo in encouraging local citizens to participate.
I made it a point to return to the election polling site and asked how the voting was going. They responded with a, "it's heavy, it's heavy". Good news for local Democrats.
