leave much room for anything else, including the desk
of the Dallas County Clerk, Tom Ellis.

Hesasoth DalsCut ClrTmElsmailing out about one-thousand absentee ballots a day
to those who can't make it to the clerk's office in
person. As for those who CAN make it, Ellis says 676
have voted since the start of balloting Thursday
and half of that number, he says, has come fromprecinct-one.
