This has led to confusion at the polling places. You go to the same place you went to last year and you are told you can no longer cast your vote there but must go to another location instead.
That’s what this is about. These changes to the election system are all brought about by the republicans in texas.

That's what happens when maggies do their best to try and lock out voters in demmie strongholds so they can give their guys an unfair advantage.

Shouldn't have to but, if there are 100 provisional ballots and 100 absentee ballots but the margin of victory was 500 votes, the ballots will be retained but not counted.
The confusion does not favor one party over another. Its a wash. Unless you agree, democrats are stupider than republicans.

You are right, they should not have to. But the maggies are doing what they can to try everything to help their candidates take an election while whittling the oppositions chances. But hey, that's Texas politics.

If it is baloney, I wonder what her excuse to concede is.
Maybe, just maybe, she believes in the democratic process unlike the orange potus.

Maybe things would have been different if she had started campaigning sooner. Who knows.

That is so Untrumpian. The nerve of her not to cry incessantly "Election Fraud" on the streets.

Doesn't sound like she conceded to me.

Oh. So what does a person saying they concede the poll results to the person running against them sound like?

What a bunch of fucking hypocrites.
Hell, at least Crockett had a valid reason to briefly question matters yet acted like an adult and quickly took the high rode. Not some MAGA losers though, those jackoffs waste the courts' time and try to treat being elected as a rite of passage and blame anyone and anything for their shortcomings when they're not elected... Crockett lost and she quickly accepted it. That's what adults do. Adults don't make wack ass excuses like a spoiled child and deny it to the extent that only the dumbest of the dumb believe those bullshit denials.

To the maggies, I think the above will sound like Barbar to them.

I am sure that this isn’t a new phenomenon and I am sure it’s not specific to republicans but rather the party in power in each particular state.
There are a variety of tactics that are used including the placement and hours of polling places.
Redistricting which disadvantages certain candidates.
Removing polling stations from college campuses.
The timing of special elections to limit voter turnout.
Having a judge retire in such a way as to create a special election rather than a general election.
Etc. Etc.
Calling out the actions of the people in charge of the election and how it can affect voter turnout and disenfranchisement is certainly the right thing to do.

When election officials stop pledging fealty to others who are not their voting public, things will change.

Tejas has constantly been a sad state of affairs by the people who are elected. But politics here can be interesting.

In a debate between him and Crockett, SHE’S the one who comes off closer to sanity, which is a gargantuan task.

Than don't be afraid to have a fair election and let the voters will prevail.
And if the way one sounds at a debate is the metric, he stands a pretty good chance of taking the brass ring if you compare it to the donny/harris debate.
