I also voted yesterday in a Dallas suburb. I observed exactly the same things you did. I've had very low expectations of this being a fair election, especially after watching this:

At 77 I've voted in a fair number of elections. I no longer feel like my vote has any meaning at all. Years ago a substantial percentage of residents in our town voted to stop converting a popular soccer field into part of a massive highway. The vote was overwhelmingly in our favor, but after the election was over it was revealed that the decision had already been made prior to voting, and the highway went in. That seems to be the new normal. Paraphrasing the saying in the Soviet Union (We pretend to work and they pretend to pay us.), we pretend our vote counts, and they make sure it doesn't.
