I voted — or, at least I think I did

Since Texas voting machines don’t print out paper receipts, I did vote but don’t know if my vote was recorded. (Of course, a hacker could get voting machines to print out a receipt that accurately reflected your vote, while not actually recording it, I’m sure. That, in turn, makes the argument for doing things the old-fashioned way, or the new-fangled Western European way: paper ballots.)

I didn’t vote for any of the family law judges, since Texas law restricts how much judges can say about positions they would take on specific issues. (By the way, where similar laws have been challenged in other states, they have invariably been ruled unconstitutional, and rightly so.)

I want to know how either an incumbent, or a challenger, feels about specific things such as divorce, or removal of children from a family. If I can’t know that for sure, I’m not voting in that election.
