The New Joe Montgomery Birther Pit / Re: capitol riot
« on: May 03, 2023, 03:15:36 PM »I'm not saying the lege wouldn't pass some other law to attack elections, but the way to prevent this particular bill (not yet a law, but will probably become one) from biting is to make sure you have a ton of paper ballots at each polling location in Harris County.
Harris County had issues keeping up with the amount of paper at polling places on election day, after the governor and state government restricted mail in balloting, which required more people to have to go to polling sites the day of the election.
They are becoming more bold on attempts to steal elections, we don't need to whitewash it.
Please, I'm not whitewashing anything. I know better than anyone that Texas has a well-worn history of pushing the boundaries and inviting lawsuits to test the boundaries of what they can get away with in the higher courts. This is just the latest episode. I was merely pointing out that Harris County has an avenue to prevent application of this would-be law in the future. I don't see how the state can apply this retroactively, though.
Again though, why wouldn’t they just lie about it and say any issue they want? That’s the point of this through and through… had they made it apply to every county in Texas… maybe I could buy an argument but strictly targeting a Democrat stronghold in Texas makes it pretty clearly the intent.
