Impeached Texas Attorney General admits Trump would have lost Texas in 2020 if he didn't block 2.5m mail in ballots

[TEH]

Blue states got all that though

Yeah and snow / bad weather

At 30 seconds, does he say "they were all illegal"?
I don't get it, if they were all illegal how would they have counted?

The lie is more entertaining breh. Texas doesn’t have mail in voting for everyone and some counties wanted to do mail in voting during Covid so really he didn’t do anything illegal by stopping it and I think you have to be over 65 or in the military out of the country to do mail in voting in Texas(bullshyt) Now the real bullshyt is them stopping the drive through voting and stopping people from handing out water while in line to vote.

Why are people moving to a backwards red state? That's beyond retarded. And them same folks complain about abortion which is banned in red states.

They don’t pay attention to what’s going on. Just walking around with their head up their ass it’s probably a bunch moving here thinking weed is legal

 

[Ezekiel 25:17]

Yeah and snow / bad weather

Snow? That's hella hella overblown. And at least we prepared Weather? Texas gets all types of Tornado and Hurricanes. On top of all that, Greg abbott is a literal retard.

Texas doesn't want the wrong people voting.

Proposed Texas bills would undermine voting rights for millions

The most alarming of these bills, SB 2, would increase the charge of illegal voting from a Class A Misdemeanor to a second-degree felony, placing it on equal footing with manslaughter, aggravated assault and robbery. #elections #texas #votingrights

In advance of the 2024 elections, far-right lawmakers are pulling out all the stops by filing a slew of bills aimed at gutting voting rights in Texas. These bills, if passed, would make it easier for defeated candidates to challenge election results, make administering elections more difficult in large cities, and create harsher punishments for people who vote “illegally.”

The most alarming of these bills, SB 2, would increase the charge of illegal voting from a Class A Misdemeanor to a second-degree felony, placing it on equal footing with manslaughter, aggravated assault and robbery. Many other bills take aim at counties with over 1 million people, where half of the population of Texas lives, undermining cities’ abilities to control their own election processes. Such bills, and similar efforts by the right, should be understood as attempts by Texas lawmakers to ensure that those who do not support their widely unpopular policies are removed from the political process entirely.

HB 2152, authored by Texas House Rep. Charles Cunningham from Humble, would extend the amount of time a defeated candidate has to challenge election results. This bill encourages the strategy of Trump-aligned candidates who claimed in 2020 that the elections were “rigged” due to widespread voter fraud, despite a lack of evidence.

Two bills introduced by State Senator Paul Bettencourt, SB 1039 and SB 823, are seemingly designed to work together and are aimed squarely at Texas’ most populous city: Houston.

SB 1039 would allow a wide range of candidates, political party officials, and judges to request that the Texas Secretary of State audit a county due to perceived election irregularities. If the audit finds such “irregularities,” the bill authorizes the Secretary to appoint a conservator to oversee elections in the precinct where the violations occurred.

SB 823 would allow the Texas Secretary of State to fire or suspend a county election administrator for a number of causes ranging from unfair allocation of election materials to delays in reporting election results.

These bills appear to be a direct response to the 2022 Harris County general election, which saw gains for more progressive candidates. After the election, the Harris County Republican Party filed a lawsuit against Harris County Elections Administrator Clifford Tatum. The causes for suspension listed in SB 823 align neatly with allegations that the Republican Party has levied against Tatum, leading local activists to conclude that the bill is tailor-made for Texas’ most populous city and county.

SB 1750, yet another filed by Bettencourt, seeks direct state intervention in all major cities. This bill would force all counties with populations over 1 million to eliminate the office of Elections Administrator entirely. If SB 1750 becomes law it will oust elections administrators for Houston, Dallas, Fort Worth, San Antonio, and Austin, placing the responsibilities of election administration with the County Clerk and Tax Assessor-Collector. Over 14 million Texans — half the population of the state — would live in counties with no elections administrator.

It is already hard enough to vote in urban areas of Texas. In Bexar County, where San Antonio is located, civil rights activists had to take the county Election Administrator to court to force the county to open enough polling places to meet the minimum requirements of the state’s election code. If Texas Republicans get their way, there will be no Elections Administrator to even sue.

So texas is blue?

At the national level yeah...at the local level...nah

Republicans go so hard against male in voting in texas because its the only state really keeping them in the presidential elections. It has the second most electoral votes. If they lost texas they'd have to flip 3 to 5 other states just to get them back to where they would be if they won texas.

 

[Lucky_Lefty]

It's already blue, he just admitted they rigged it lol.

2022 midterms say nah

 

[ORDER_66]

So is THIS why he got impeached???

 

[Lucky_Lefty]

stopping people from handing out water while in line to vote.

that's GA...surprisingly, TX hasn't gone to that extreme yet

 

[Lucky_Lefty]

Nope, they're on his ass for bribery and obstruction (among other things). This will be interesting since his wife is in the state Senate.

isnt bribery legal in the united states; politicians get bribed all the time... I mean lobbied

 

[Lucky_Lefty]

We coming from California to Texas in droves

Then u have Chicago, Detroit, NYC moving to Georgia

That’s why these white red state politicians shaking in their cowboy boots

That would cool if it were true. Evidence has shown that most folks move because of ideology (whites from NorCal moving to TX) and most who do vote a certain way in one stay, aren't a given to vote that same way in their new state

Legislature has little appetite to fund Ken Paxton’s settlement with whistleblowers

A lack of lawmaker support jeopardizes the attorney general’s $3.3 million settlement, which would resolve a lawsuit alleging Paxton fired high-ranking deputies who accused him of misconduct.
