Lol. We’re you at the Church on 11th? I was picking up my kid from school and the wind was 25 mph gusts and the sky opened up. I was soaked.

I’d go vote again if I were you.

Harris County? Maybe the storm wiped out scores of Democratic votes

A lot of people work until 8 and some even later. I don't have a 9-5 and business doesn't stop because of an election. I've already voted, so I don't have to worry about how late the polls are open on election day.

I thought the same thing.
I think the head poll worker (i.e., Paul Blart) was experiencing a mental meltdown, triggered by a drop in barometric pressure.
The entire episode was a comedy of errors.

I’m about 3 hours East if you and that pressure change with the storm was wild.

It was 78 and humid when I went I to work and right around 10 it dropped 15-20 degrees and wind and rain hit out of nowhere.

Crazy.

I was in my office working, heard the wind and looked out the window to see the sky darken, trees whip around and every leaf and piece of plastic in the city float into the air! Crazy front blowing through! Clear now.

This is why you vote on election day in your own precinct like a goddamned American and not some "I wanna beat the rush" pansy.
