At the edge of Hill Country, I voted the first day of early voting. Normally first day is crowded with Republican farmers, ranchers and “good ol boys” laughing, shaking hands and slapping each other on the back. On Tuesday morning 9am I was the only voter present. Not only was that unusual - I was not asked to show my ID which hasn’t happened in years.
