Go vote!

After much contemplation, I'm voting YES on all the amendments.

https://www.sos.texas.gov/elections/forms/2025-explanatory-statements.pdf

is this all that is on the ballot in this election? Have not been keeping up. Do we have elections for reps or senators?

Thanks for sharing that.
I was wondering what the issues were.

Reps and Senator is next year.

Virginia Governor is this year.

Voted a couple weeks ago. Can't say I supported all of the proposed amendments, but most of them yeah.

I start at all no's but I'll vote yes on some.

also, I'm wrong... there is a special election in district 9 for state senate.

so if you live there, you will vote for your state senator

Here is another summary and breakdown

Obviously make your own choice but they help explain views

Bomb threats in a few polling places in Jersey. The left will stop at nothing to win an election. Sadly the people who are doing this believe they are heroes trying to save our democracy.

Prop 4/HJR 7 vote no.

It is a disguised amendment that will be used to destroy the Texas coastal ecosystem under the auspices of making more water available for Texas.

Money spent on a marketing campaign to not move to Texas because we are running out of water would be better than an amendment that will make it easier to wreck the Texas coastal ecosystem under.

Yes there is a special election for state senator.
The 5-8 texts / day for the last two weeks won't let me forget.

Also, someone's a liar and the other is a thief.
Nothing changes in politics at any level.

I have always wondered why Scott Pressler went into New Jersey a year ago to win the Governor race there and not into Virginia to help win an easier race.

if Winsome Sears does better than Ciatterelli then that is a huge failure from his group.

I've never seen anyone claim that it will destroy the coastal ecosystem until now, which seems like a serious exaggeration:


Arguments For and Against

In Favor (Broad support from water groups, biz leaders, and env. orgs like Sierra Club and Texas Water Foundation):

Locks in predictable funding for critical infrastructure, preventing future crises.
Ties to economic growth-more sales = more water investment-without raising taxes.
Addresses urgent needs: e.g., cleaning up polluted systems, expanding storage for droughts, and supporting rural areas. Endorsed as a "win for water security and economy."


Against (Limited organized opposition noted, but some fiscal hawks raise flags):

Reduces flexibility for general budget needs (e.g., education or roads) by earmarking funds.
Relies on continued sales tax growth; recessions could pause it.
20-year limit means it'll need renewal, and critics question if $20B is enough (or too much) without stronger oversight.

You will need to elaborate. This sounds like fear porn.

As someone who lives on the coast, I'm voting hell yes for 4 even if it has some warts. We can't depend on our local idiots to do the smart thing so now we have to depend on the state to hopefully save us. What a **** position to be in.

Regardless, water is going to be the critical issue in this state going forward (as well as many others) so we better get ahead of it.

Someone previously posted a compilation of recommendations from various Texas conservative groups. Eagle Forum, etc. can someone post that link again?

Edit- found what i was thinking of:
https://texasscorecard.com/state/roundup-novembers-constitutional-amendments-recommendations/

I went with:
1. N
2. Y
3. Y
4. N
5. Y
6. Y
7. N
8. Y
9. Y

Harris County GOP race endorsements:
Sonia Rivera Houston City Council, At-Large Position 4
Miles Sasser Houston Community College (HCC) District 1
Robbie McDonough Houston ISD Trustee, District V
Bridget Wade Houston ISD Trustee, District VII

Very low turn out at my local polling station, as could be expected when there are no high profile campaigns on the ballot. Your vote counts extra today.

Im offsetting your Joker burn it all down vote and voting NO on 5,11, and 14.

Voted last week in Cypress Tx. The state amendments and 3 school board trustee seats were the items on my ballot.

Do a little bit of research to be able to cast an informed vote, and then get to the polling place and exercise your right.

Kinda feels like there is some irony somewhere in there with Cheney's death announced on the same day.

Big morning of voting in NYC. 190,839 votes from 6–9am, on top of 735,317 early votes and ~75k absentees.

Given that turnout generally picks up as the day goes on, it's definitely possible we hit 2 million votes in NYC (and Mamdani hits 1 million if he has a good night).

Its novel, for sure but as an example, often the ballot headline for amendments don't really help to know what you are actually voting for or against.

If you're in Rockwall vote no on yet another VATRE. ISD's scheduling off year tax increase votes and spending >$100k on advertising it without even disclosing where all the funds go to is gross.

Remember to vote FOR Prop 11.

Even though I have a seven figure 401(k) fund, I'd like a bigger break on my property taxes.

TIA

black GOP candidate in Virginia Governor race being opposed by Barack Obama in favor of white woman

Jack Ciaterelli in New Jersey ran a good campaign but of course will come up short and it's insane that Scott Pressler brought all his people out of pennsylvania for this race.

Mamdani in NYC

Mamdani is the future of the Dem Party.

AOC is gonna primary Schumer in 2028 as a socialist too.

No thanks. That just means I'm paying more to make up for you.

Lucky me....I got to vote for the replacement for Sheila Jackson Lee / Sylvester Turner in the 18th US Congressional District.

About 20 names on the ballot.

I supported and voted for Carmen Maria Montiel, former Miss Venezuela!

Read 'em thoroughly before you vote. I'm voting no on1,7 and 14.

Democrats will win in Democrat cities and states.

Media will portray it as a referendum on Trump.
