    this is outrageous

    Will it get any coverage from mainstream or national media? Will prominent Democrats make this widely known?

    not many people will be going to democracydocket.com or paying to get past the paywall on the HoustonChronicle to read about this

    Once again, as I've mentioned, this is the State GOP waging war on "local control" in any and every place they can.

    I'm glad yall give a **** now that it's hitting the metropolitan areas.

    While there were issues at polling places in HC and the appropriate people should be held accountable, the issues were not large enough to shift the results of any race. This continuing boogie man battle that the republicans keep chasing is just coming off as a power grab that undermines our democracy. It's too bad individuals such as yourself are okay with the approach that's being taken by your party.

    Yes this is very disturbing pattern of several states taking moves to undermine democracy when it doesnt favor them. Many of the key issues the GOP focuses on are very unpopular and they know that. This is why they are trying to push structural advantages they have built up over decades to keep their hold on power.

    We're seeing similar moves in WI, NC, OH and several other states where they hold a strong majority in state legislatures.

    Nobody here has any idea what's happening in Texas. When @AroundTheWorld ask what's facist this is the definition. Republicans know they have a failing agenda to sell.

    They've given up trying to hid anything. DJT emboldened them now they think their view are mainstream and that they can do anything they want. Lie, cheat, steal, embezzle, defraud, discriminate, suppress the vote, gerrymander, what ever they want.

    If this next election isn't a resounding blue wave across the country we'll never have another real & fair election.

    and not a peep from the Democratic party

    the amount of people that even know this is going on is minimal…that tweet has 306 likes and 7 replies

    Where are the prominent Democrats to raise the alarm and let the rest of the country know what is going on? They’re too busy bringing up MTG and Boebert’s dumbasses for the millionth time this month

    The democratic party is lining up litigation to sue when the law goes into effect. What do you want them to do? This is why confirming progressive judges is so important and why Feinstein needs to stay on

    The DNC made a huge deal out of Texas abortion bill which bans women who have been raped from getting abortions. In Texas right now if a female has been raped she's not eligible for an abortion. If the DNC couldn't shame them out of a 80/20 position you think Abbott cares now?

    These are facist pigs. While gop trolls obsess over hunter biden @Os Trigonum bullshit the Republicans are busy trying rig elections for real.

    The great scam is how Republicans scammed low iq voters like @Salvy that democrats are the ones cheating when the gop is passing voting suppression laws everywhere
