    They don't even try to hide it.

    Hell, Brazil (my wife's home country) has better elections than ours (unless Bolsanaro pulls something for re-election). You're even required by law to vote. Required by law.

    Guess there was a nice little under-the-table campaign gift for Abbott from the Trump people.

    No one should have this level of power.

    Pathetic. So you're saying that a county as large as Harris County doesn't have the resources to secure more than 1 drop box?

    Republicans don't want Rockets fans to vote.

    More restricting people's voting rights in the name of "security" and "integrity" of elections.

    Shameless voter suppression. Same as it ever was. Nothing will ever satisfy the pubbies on this, ever. It's a goalpost attached to a conveyor belt. The **** will just never stop moving.

    Bad faith actors who need to be thrown out en masse.

    I guess zero drop boxes would be more blatant. 2024 anyone? :oops:

    once Democrats regain power, it’s time to take off the kid gloves

    the GOP is not at all interested in civility, decorum, fairness, etc...they do not care about hypocrisy

    it’s time the Democrats return that same energy

    It's literally unbelievable that you still have an entire sect of people that think this **** is protecting our democracy, and that the "LiBtArds aRe sTeaLinG tHe eLeCtiOn" by wanting to give voting access to the majority of people. ******* I hope every last holdover ****-stain from this ****ing regime gets nailed to the wall in the upcoming years.

    That was the problem with Obama. He tried to cozy up to the other side, producing unintended results like Colmey's Hillary bombshell in the 2016 election.

    I'm with you, bro. Once in power, burn those those ****ers at the cross. No pity because they had none.
