Election 2006

We took advantage of early voting today, which was easy and all electronic here in Harris County, Texas. Poll workers said turnout has been pretty strong.

I voted for Carole Keaton Strayhorn for governor. She remains, at minimum, the least worst choice, and may well do much better than that if she takes office.

I also voted for the Katy Independent School District bond package, which is essential to cope with the population explosion* in our local schools. (Pay no attention to the ideological simpletons who oppose it.)

Now we wait for November 7 (or beyond) to see what happens here and elsewhere.

*Via KISD: "It took Katy ISD 77 years to enroll its first 25,000 students (1919-1996), 11 years to enroll the next 25,000 (1997-2007) and 6 years to enroll the next 25,000 (2008-2013). Katy ISD is projected to build out with approximately 100,000 students and 69 campuses (9 high schools, 16 junior highs and 43 elementary schools)."
