[EL] An election oddity?

[John Tanner]

In Texas there are no such precincts:  by law there are separate precincts
and separate for each ballot style, and no precinct contains both
incorporated and unincorporated territory.  As frequently is ture across
the US, multiple precincts vote at the same polling place.  It is not
uncommon for poll workers to pass out the wrong ballot.
