It’s going to scare people away from voting in precincts that are going 80-90% for Biden.
Republicans are the party of the 2A, Pro Life and Healthcare.
Healthcare is a big issue to me, it’s why I voted Trump.
Extra concerning: my friend voted early in Harris County, he’s a lawyer there, and he doesn’t think they segregated the curbside votes from the rest. They could potentially toss the entirety of Harris County’s early vote.
This country is confirmed banana republic if they toss any of the votes.

This is judicial coup territory. We are so close to going over the edge in this country.

Good news is trump will not tolerate those 7 red counties to count their votes on 11/4!

stacey abrams was on psa i think and said, “the best weapon against voter suppression is to come out and vote in droves”. voter numbers appear to say that message is working.

For real. It’s alarming how fast it happened. Like when he won, I knew this was the end-game if he won re-election, and I expected him to use all the power of the presidency to facilitate re-election… but it wasn’t clear until more recently that it really might have just been game over in 2016, not 2020.
Like I feel like most of us knew there was a chance of that, but were pretty confident that if we smashed turnout we’d be able to get him in '20. Now I feel like it’s basically a flip.

Can we do this outside of a predominantly white polling station?
Not going to lie cuse, as I get ready to shed decades of Philly and PA hate on Tuesday, you are not making Philadelphia sound very appealing.
Read that Texas brief. It’s primarily a state law interpretation issue, so I’m not sure why it’s legitimately in federal court.
Assuming the venue is proper, the interpretation turns on the Texas law that allows curbside voting if the voter feels their health is in danger inside the polling place. Essentially, courts would have to say that there is no risk to voter health in polling places in order to say the curbside voting is improper.
Not a black guy stealing a candy bar, so not the police’s jurisdiction.

I’ve always argued that recent history resembles post WWI, pre WWII Europe. The xenophobia, rabid nationalism, economic hardship for vast swaths of people, etc.

Kamala was in Fort Worth at noon yesterday so unlikely she was on a San Antonio to Austin bus.

I mean, how many big cities in America have police departments you’d trust in this spot?
The Proud Boys would mostly be coming from outside the city, but we’ve got neighborhoods that are pretty racist… Like NYC has Staten Island.
Like I love Austin and Houston, but I’m not looking to spend much time in the space in between…
It’s not the lack of polls, it’s the rampant availability of that sobering voter intimidation and judicial tampering.
Who would they need to cite to draw such a conclusion? Someone like, I don’t know, the President of the United States?
