Harris County mail-in ballots that they wanted to send out were 2.5 million, those were all illegal and we were able to stop every one of them," Sounds like he stopped 2.5 million people from voting, then openly bragged about how good of a job he did at suppressing those voters. --- Hey Trashcan Man!

Ruvan22 07/07/23 9:06:32 AM #39:	Anarchy_Juiblex posted... There are no actual objective legal barriers to non-whites voting in Texas. All of the stuff that disproportionally affects non-whites is ultimately socioeconomic and ultimately further not-actual barriers, just uncomfortable hurdles. Get in line, stay in line until you cast your vote. Make any god damn sacrifices you have to, to get it cast. Getting fired? Making an immunocompromised person sick? I don't think you realize the magnitude of what you are minimizing with the word "uncomfortable" I just want them to actually vote instead of make excuses in perpetuity. As an Ohioan I can't do shit for them. Nor can the feds. This is on would-be Texas Democrats. Learned helplessness is not a good thing. And is yelling to "just do some uncomfortable things" going to help? <cite>Ruvan22 posted [p:974681584] in Texans Die...
