Texas Republicans hate Rockets fans and don’t want them to vote

I voted in person and straight ticket democrat!

 

There will certainly be that and if it appears to be an incoming Democratic President, Senate, and state houses they will double down on victimhood and how the Democrats are going to run roughshod over them.

 

With very few exceptions, they don't have the tools required to handle this, especially not the broadcast media.

"Well, we're going to hear now from both sides and treat them totally equally, as if they are both sane voices of democracy, even though one is trying to burn hundreds of thousands of votes. .... [hear from both sides] ... okay, interesting, evolving issue to track here. Tune in for updates!"

Meanwhile, 0.5% of us will read long-form articles in the Atlantic about what is actually happening or what happened.

 

What gets me is... Republicans don't really seem to care this is happening.You'd think there would be at least a FEW to speak out against this kind of thing. What Republicans in our state are speaking up? Standing for democracy? Sure, it makes me angry but I'll be honest, it genuinely hurts me. Lol. Sad to admit that. But it just.... cuts me. I guess I am a snowflake, lol. But I thought people were better than this.

 

The Republicans that give a **** about democracy have already left the party. What's left is the absolute dregs, as is evident here. Unfortunately, on a nation-wide scale, that's around 40% of the voting population. Act accordingly.

 

I hear that. The older I get, it's not so much that it's more painful to be from Texas or to be an American -- it's not that. I can't help but own both of those things and still have some pride about each.

I just find it more sad to be a human being. There are bright spots, but our species just looks to have more limitations than I thought. Maybe 1650-2000 was sort of a blip, even with all the horrible fighting, where our species embraced looking for facts and using logic. That's only about 350 years out of 200,000, right? LOL. It's not a very impressive batting average.

 

It’s bad enough that the country is at such a dire, pivotal point in our history. We also have to watch the ridiculous dance of the “mainstream news” outlets as they attempt to put both candidates, both political parties on an equal footing, and in doing so, being forced to pretend that the Republican Party isn’t participating in literally assaulting the foundation of the political system our republic is based on. The right to vote.

 

Twitter and Facebook are both directly responsible for this. It just gave an incredible medium for disinformation. Like if you could corrupt people via drive thru. It kicked our division into overdrive.

 

I don't know about Texas but there are many. They are a distinct minority but without them the Lincoln Project wouldn't exist.

 

Wanted to vote this way but was concerned this might happen. For that reason went into a "traditional" early voting location.

 

Despite some cynicism here, Texas Supreme Court tossed the suit over the weekend. They may be hacks, but apparently there are limits. The federal challenge is supposed to be decided today.

One thing that has occurred to me about drive-thru voting is this though. In a normal polling booth, you go in alone. I think if you have a disability or a language barrier you're allowed to bring a helper, but they have do some kind of promise not to influence your vote. But it looks like drive-thru voting is letting you stick multiple people in the car. Is that right?

 

The same republicans that filed suit in Texas also filed suit with a hyper-partisan federal judge... if correct I believe they may still get away with their attempt to disenfranchise Texas voters...

 

I may eat my words later today, but if the plaintiffs thought their federal case was stronger than the state case, they probably would have started with that. State court already said it's cool with Texas law. So now a federal court has to think of some way to imagine that it violates federal election law even though most of voting operations is conducted by the states. Not sure what sort of fig leaf a federal judge could even put on a decision like that. I'm obviously not a lawyer nor qualified to say in any way, but this seems like a desperation move to me.

 

Interesting that he didn't simply rule on this as did the Texas supreme court. I wonder if he intends to leave the door cracked for the trumpsters...

 

The evil motive was allowing libtards to vote!!

 

He ruled... correctly.
