Texas Republicans try to invalidate 127,000 ballots

[Thump553]

In the 2000 election, they counted military ballots that didn’t meet the requirements for a legal ballot having been post marked after the election date. The two campaigns chose not to contest the unlawful ballots even though they might have turned the election results in Florida. In retrospect one wonders how many military personnel died who might still be alive if the Gore campaign had contested those late ballots.

Correct me if I'm wrong (but I don't think I am) but I don't think the Democratic Party has in the modern era (post GOP taking over the white South, say 1972) contested any vote on a technical ground. I participated in legal voter protection efforts as a volunteer attorney for the Dems in 2000, 2004 and 2008 and every single time our underlying instructions were clear-assist ANY person attempting to vote that looked their efforts were being frustrated by a technical interpretation of the rules.

Both parties used to act that way as well, until the GOP forfeited their souls as Americans. Increasingly the courts have been going down the same road. Nothing good for America will come of this trend.

5th Circuit decided not to stop the drive thru voting.

Harris County decided to only use the Toyota Center's parking deck today though out of caution since it's a bit of a lift to say this isn't a "structure" per state law:

Maybe he and the sex-with-dream/demons doctor can get together and swap stories.
I think she's from Texas too, right?

Yep Houston

Trump’s New COVID Doctor Says Sex With Demons Makes You Sick

The president is pushing the coronavirus theories of a Houston doctor who also says sexual visitations by demons and alien DNA are at the root of Americans’ common health concerns.

Hey, this hotze fool is from Houston too.
Maybe the two of them know each other.

Dr Hotez is on the news frequently. He's right up there with Fauci and Schaffner as far as telling people of the COVID19
news that needs to be heard.

The other day I was watching a documentary about India (India From Above). One of the segments was about India being the world's largest democracy (more populous than USA and the EU combined) and the extreme efforts they go to get every vote out. They establish a polling place, on average 1.x miles apart throughout the country. The segment showed a priest who was the only person who lived in a huge wildlife preserve. The government sent a vanload of election officials to his residence solely so he could vote. A publicity stunt, to be sure, but it certainly was a feel good story. Made me much prouder of a country on the other side of the globe than the one my family has been in since the Mayflower.

Indians are very beautiful people.

You're on 'Anand' Tech mate There should just be a populate vote for pretty much everything. Hate the fact that my vote is worth 1/50 because I'm in Cali vs WY.

I like how Bill has completely removed himself from Microsoft in an effort to make more money with this crazy scheme.

I’m confused by your statement

Thanks to the EC if you are in CA then your vote for President counts about 1/3 of someone in Wyoming. I.E. their vote is worth over 3 times yours.

Some are more equal than others.

The first part was clear hopefully...the site was started by an Indian- American. The 1/50 was an exaggeration for the Prez election but an understatement for sentate representation , then it's like 1/100. And we are are a viable country by ourselves regardless of what the haters say. If the Netherlands can be a country, Cali can be a country any day of the week..5th largest economy in the world and over 70% of US supply of many produce items. Idaho will sell us potatoes and the midwest grains if they want veggies and fruits lol.

Founder and CEO Conservative Republicans of Texas. Evidently a total SOB, looking at the Twitter graphic linked.

If things go much like they have the last few decades I'm all form CA splitting off from the union and forming OUR own nation, under a greater god than the rest. Seriously, if Trump isn't gone in 2021, I'm gonna be for that or at least consider moving to some other land.

"fenixgoon, if you don't vote, democrats will turn texas BLUE!"

Sounds good, but we should take Oregon, Washington and Hawaii with us.

Yep, AZ,NM and NV will likely be up for the ride too by then. That will make the hypothetical country 2x the size of Mexico and the 3rd largest economy in the world. Viability my a....

Arizona would split off on its own before they'd join California. But they could get the rest of the West coast with all the tech companies and think it'd be what Nike and Starbucks.
