I gathered signatures yesterday at one of the early voting poll locations. You should know that the opposition has hired “blockers” — many of whom were brought in from outside the Dallas area and/or state — to dissuade people from signing our petitions. These are professionals who have been stationed at every polling location. They are getting paid $200/day (I found this out from “my” blocker).
