The Republican Party of Texas suggested election officials may have purged too many of their voters from the voting rolls.

In a message on Super Tuesday, the Texas GOP sounded the alarm about possible problems with voting.

"We have received reports from election judges that some Republican voters in Travis County have not been able to vote," the post on X said.

"This is due to an update to voter registration rolls that took place between early voting and Election Day. We alerted the Secretary of State's office, they followed up with the county elections office as did the Travis County Republican Party."

"If you experience this, you can request and vote by provisional ballot. We at the Republican Party of Texas Headquarters are actively supporting the Travis County Republican Party to resolve any current or further issues."

Election officials generally purge voter rolls between elections. In 2012, Travis County removed 41,000 voters from the voter rolls.

But reports have claimed that Republicans have been much more active in purging the rolls since the 2020 election.

"Protecting the right to vote is one of the most important things our courts can do," Georgetown Law Paul Smith wrote. "Even those who rail against 'judicial activism' and in favor of democratic decision-making ought to recognize that when the democracy is distorted by the actions of elected officials, only the courts can help. Stopping unnecessary and unjustified voter purges is a prime example."

Welp...she's dropping out. But isn't going anywhere. :sas2:

Thanks for showing us alllll the cracks in the shield, Haley.

8 loooooong months, fellas. :sas2:

Folks ain't talking about Don not getting 90-95% of GOP voters. He has ERODED support and that's what folks don't wanna talk about.

He has become completely exhausting to a lot of Republicans

Well all he has is MAGA votes. That's all he had in 2020. Which is why he lost. I'm a broken record on this but you don't rerun the loser. The folks that handed him the L are still out there. You also have to think of folks that were ineligible to vote in 2020 that can now. Like....you are asking for an L all over again unless you have made a major shift in your approach. Ha!

The people that handed him that L aren't in those polls. They weren't back in 2020. Or at the '22 midterms. But people still looooove polls.

Shaping up for another loss in 2024. You'd have to be in lala land not to see it. I don't care personally because I want an L for him.

Haley has shown that a lot of Republicans want something new. It was a problem for the right in 20 and will be w problem in November. Will they address it? Hell no.

But polls. :mjgrin:
