Texas is also trying to pass a voter law that would make it that for any state wide vote (Gov, Sen, POTUS…any amendment, law, etc) that it could only be considered a “majority” if it is a majority in EVERY VOTING DISTRICT. This is to invalidate the votes of the cities and to give the power to the fucking racist redneck assholes. Fuck Ted Cruz….I’m so out of here in 9 months
BTW, I believe that at least one of the two “voter fraud” cases was the one involving a Black woman (born in America ffs) who thought she had gotten the clear to vote again after being convicted of something. (I think she was off by a week or two, I don’t remember). The fuckers here in Texas threw her back in jail. It was an honest mistake…she was insanely persecuted…she wasn’t even an immigrant. She had the audacity to be a Black woman trying to vote in this fucking shitty state.
So, money that her "friend" is Paxton himself and that the entire taking the precious sprog to the DMV and having long lines because illegals was made up out of whole cloth?
Isn't this false claim a direct indictment of Texas Republicans' "election integrity" laws? Bartiromo (which my phone keeps auto-correcting to "Bathroom", lol!) is basically claiming that Texas' election laws (which we know are aimed at suppressing Democratic votes) aren't working.
What do you want to bet that Paxton's "undercover agents" will be checking strip clubs to see if any illegal voter registration is going on. After all, it's cool and dark in there, who knows what could be going on?
Republicans: Never met a culture war we'll use your tax money to fight in court.
I'm told this is called "fiscal conservatism."
See also the case of Crystal Mason, which they're running back through the courts again after the state Supreme Court ordered the district court to throw it out.
Don't call their party racist though, they get upset.
I got news for ya, Texans. Hispanic origin is not a RACE, it is an ethnicity. There are Hispanic whites and Hispanic blacks, at the very least. Most people of Central American origin would fall under the white Hispanic umbrella. SO they *are* white, you dickhead. They just ain't pale.
I remember many years ago a guy who was going thru census-taker training laughing at the probably sincere question from one elderly trainee on what to do if a person was "passing" as "white". Answer: "Count them as white".
A good friend of mine unfortunately looks like a more grizzly Alex Jones and yesterday said some old woman came up to him and begged him not to move to Russia, lol! (Coulda been a joke, he's quite funny. But it was in frightfully-red central Minnesota, so ya never know...)
It's better if the stories are fake. The Texas leg (or whoever is last up for appeals) will use existence of rumors like this to invalidate any vote results they don't like.
They don't have to have evidence, they can just make shit up.
This reminds me of when Nikki Minaj tweeted out some ridiculous "my friends cousin said his balls swelled to the size of grapefruits after getting vaccinated," or something to that effect. What is hearsay? Nikki is free to believe anything she wants, but a "news" organization using personal hearsay to push a narrative is criminal.
Ken Paxton! Still wearing his shape-shifting costume from that time he auditioned for that salt-sucking rock role on Star Trek. "Honey... honey I... I think it's stuck... stuck on..."

They can do what they want to us but I am not going to sit here and listen to them bad mouth the United States of America!
-Eric Stratton, who was pre-law or pre-med, what's the difference?
The tell here is that Bartiromo has no friends.

"Miss, I have to look in your g string. You may be hiding illegal voter registration forms in there. Or maybe an illegal or two."
I remember when lesbian gangs with pink guns roamed the streets…on Fox, of course!
When the county GOP won't go along with your batshit story, you're truly at a level of incompetence that almost borders on deliberate.
No, no, no, you don't *understand*.
The chairman of the GOP in Parker. County. TEXAS.
Her friends wife’s balls?
It's a great pretext for Paxton to carry out (even more draconian) voter suppression efforts.

"Just because these people aren't white ..."

"White" is in the eye of the beholder.
Family guy color chart applies.
Not as far as the Census is concerned.
Well as they aren't checking to see if what you marked corresponds with the Generally Accepted American Pale color chart I'd guess it's all relative.

The Republican Party: Just Not True, and Kind of Racist®
OMG, Bartiromo looks a bit like my rheumatologist, especially with those glasses. The rheumatologist also has an Italian-sounding name.
My dentist looked exactly like Bill Barr until he grew a beard. The beard was a huge improvement.
Not being bill Barr already is.

Paxton is a POS of the lowest order.
Just imagine how much worse he’d be with two eyes!
