  1. Austin had double the amount of mail in ballots yesterday as 2016. Seems like in person voting will be at roughly the same amount for the 2nd day in a row though.
  2. I mute his retweets.
  3. Yea, I'm in the city limits but in Manor ISD. Posting this here again since it's a new page:
  4. You mean the train station that is ahead of schedule, under budget and will help with the frequency of the red line?
  5. Prop A is not a bond so there isn't any borrowed money or interest. It's more Pay as you go. The first few years will be spent on design and engineering which will allow the fund to build up money to pay for the actual construction. Then you have the project like the Green Line which aren't even scheduled for work until after light rail opens when the money will be available. The cheaper improvements are scheduled 1st like Red line improvements and the Bus Rapid routes, park and rides etc. This is a really good plan IF you like mass transit. If you don't then vote against it but anyone who says the plan is not right for X reason is full of shit or lying. The best comparison I have is Seattle's light rail. They also have a tunnel in downtown that helps the system tremendously by avoiding clusters, not taking away lanes for buses, and allowing the trains to be extended in the future which we could not do at street level due to the shorter length of our downtown blocks.
  6. It should not surprise anyone that the bulk of money comes during construction and we are just now about to enter the primary construction position of the plan. This schedule was public back in 2016. It takes years of planning if you want multiple years of public input and approvals, the necessary auditing of utilities to minimize complications during construction and proper design and engineering.
  7. The city of Austin has jack shit to do with AISD.
  8. This is the most honest representation of the tax impact of Prop A that I've seen: Please vote YES. The system is most similar probably to what Seattle has with the downtown tunnel.
  9. Please vote for Props A and B if you are in Austin. It's the best shot we've had for a mass transit plan in 20 years. We are so royally fucked if we don't get started on light rail now with how the population is exploding.
  10. This guy hasn't voted in Travis County in the last year.
  11. I wouldn't be surprised if we see the Bernie effect with Trump and a lack of willingness to actually go out to the polls and vote for him among his supporters.
  12. I don't think so. The head of travis elections said they were at around 6,000 by 10:00 AM.
  13. I think your vote is thrown out if you vote early but die before Election Day. Just wanted you to know that before you die.
  14. This is their polling map. Not their consensus map. https://www.270towin.com/maps/consensus-2020-electoral-map-forecast
  15. This will sit on his desk unsigned until the election. Trump will likely have a lead on election night due to so many states not being able to START counting mail in ballots until the polls close and he's going to say that he'll sign it if Biden concedes.
  16. Meanwhile the 2nd big hurricane is headed toward Lake Charles as God's punishment for being Trump's biggest pocket of support in Louisiana. He didn't help them after the 1st one so maybe he'll help them now.
  17. Do it in person! Do it in person!
  18. I'm seeing unconfirmed reports Pence has tested positive.
  19. Pete has always been great.
  20. Someone go the airport and see if a Judge gets on Air Force Two....
  21. Or Trump is dying.
  22. So either he has Covid or he's meeting with Pelosi about the 25th amendment.
