Worked the Harris county election return next to the Astrodome during said election and was very impressed with the coordination.
Saw an older gentleman try to surreptitiously film us while talking conspiracy during ballot drop off. Even with those shenanigans there exists no evidence yet the Republicans filed the aforementioned “lawsuits challenging their stolen elections” regardless.
And now they want to wrest control of one of the largest and well oiled election administrations in the nation based on absolutely nothing.
That’s what they do. Find effective government and then sabotage it so that they can shape it according to their agenda.
The IRS is a great example of this. Make taxing slow, painful and expensive, and then turn around to complain about taxes so you can give hefty tax rebates to the rich and prevent money from going to infrastructure and instead funnel it to the same rich people via subsidies.
It’s so fantastic to see democratic mechanism get gamed for the power games of a petty few.
Do they know they are the bureacrates they speak of?
A judge has called a new law unconstitutional that passed in the GOP-led Texas Legislature and will dictate how elections are run in the state’s most populous county, which is a Democratic stronghold and home to Houston.
The law, which would abolish a position that oversees elections in Harris County, was temporarily blocked by state District Judge Karin Crump in Austin after county officials filed a lawsuit earlier this month.
But the judge’s order, issued Monday, was short-lived. It was put on hold on Tuesday after the Texas Attorney General’s Office filed a notice that it will appeal to the Texas Supreme Court.

This shit makes me laugh…
Most places you got a relatively small geographical region dictating policy to huge swaths of rural areas, and Texas is down there with the tail wagging the dog instead.
Hopefully it doesn’t fly, but objectively, that’s some funny shit.
