Vote, please. You can vote through 7 pm tonight and tomorrow night (October 30) in Dallas County at the early voting locations. If you have a mail-in ballot, please drop it off in person at the appropriate location. Or, turn up on Tuesday to vote in person! The voting machines are easy to use, unlike the craziness documented in this image.
