They aren't even trying to hide their efforts to keep Democrats from voting. They are outright attempting to win by cheating and making the process are difficult and unfair as possible.

Early voting begins on Oct. 13 and lasts until Oct. 30, meaning there’s more time than usual to cast a ballot in Texas.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott issued a proclamation for an extended early voting period to give people more flexibility with casting their ballots during the coronavirus crisis.

With nearly 50 polling locations in Bexar County open daily, and staying open until 10 p.m. during the last week of early voting, residents will have options to safely cast a ballot.

The additional time and locations will help with the county’s surge of registered voters this cycle. As of Monday, the county recorded 1.18 million registered voters, about 125,000 more registered voters than the 2016 general election.

ONE ballot drop box per county....


ONE box for 4 million-plus Harris county voters....


ONE party encourages everyone to vote

ONE party does everything it can possibly do to discourage people from casting a ballot.

Dishonest lying , as usual.

Yes, or no, dishonest lying , if you limit mail in drop box to one per county, and the county with the largest democratic population has more people voting than 20+ STATES, will that cause delays?

yes or no. Evade, and you prove me right about you being a dishonest lying .

After you answer that, or not:
If you increase access to voting in all areas, then seek to actively limit voting in areas where you won't win, are you suppressing voters? Yes or no.

Who gets to decide how many early voting locations there will be in Harris county, a Republican, or a Democrat, dishonest lying ?

yes because ONE party saw the other party suppressing the vote, filing lawsuits to suppress votes, create a false narrative that the election was rigged and pushed russian propaganda...


the ONE party sprung into action to create EASIER ways to vote and the response was


more lawsuits from Republicans to CEASE the drive thru voting....


the fact that Dems became pro-active to help people vote


does not excuse the voter suppression and ery of your party

Well, I don't expect an honest answer from a dishonest lying , so I looked it up.

Christopher Hollins
Christopher George Hollins is an American Democratic Party official and personal injury attorney who currently serves as the interim County Clerk and the Chief Elections Officer of Harris County, Texas.

The answer is, a Democrat gets to decide how many polling places to have for Harris County: 100+

...and a Republican gets to decide how many mail-in drop boxes there are for Harris County: 1

If you are a dishonest lying , you will avoid acknowledging those facts.

So you dodged the question, dishonest lying .

Ok. I didn't expect you to suddenly be concerned about fairness or generally not being evil. You are pretty devoted to lying and evil, I don't expect you to change now.

Many of which Abbott is trying to get shut down in court. The early voting effort in Harris County was because of work done at the county level and also done in spite of Abbott's efforts to suppress votes.

Speaking of dishonest lying s.

I guess he wanted to suppress voting longer.

when Abbott does 5 different things that suppress votes and 1 thing that doesn't suppress votes, Karrin thinks the 1 thing makes it so the other 5 things don't matter.

[Spurminator]

There's no defending this. Attempts to spin it because "Durr it's still easy to vote in pursun" aren't arguments in favor of the reduction of drop off locations. You can't defend that because there's no defense. You only favor it because it helps your team, and that makes you a gutless shill.

[Will Hunting]

UPDATE - the ADL found a state law Abbott's 1 dropbox per county rule violated, and a Travis County State Court ruled that it has, and I think since it's a state law the 5th circuit decision doesn't apply. My prediction is that the Texas 3rd Court of Appeals upholds the ruling but Texas Supreme Court might reverse it.

Eyup.

These asshats better hope that the Democrats treat them better when they gain control of the state government than they treat the opposition when they have power. At this point, I don't see that happening.

Their salty tears when they suddenly care about gerrymandering or state govenrment closing polling places in Republican-controlled areas will be delicious.

Honestly people just need to vote in person. Don't leave your vote in the hands of partisan courts and corrupt leadership. They've shown they'll do whatever it takes to suppress the vote, even by objectively illegal means, and at this point nobody's stopping them. See California.
