Because Voting Information Should Be a Damn Secret
Texas Voter ID Laws have done a complete 180 thanks to the courts who say that they were a flaming damn mess.
There is going to be $2.5 million campaign to educate Texas Voters about the changes in the law. That’s a good thing, right? WRONG.
Our lying thief of an attorney general says it’s partly a secret where he is going to spend that money. We can’t let the taxpayers know where the money is going, now can we? Especially since every damn elected statewide Republican has gotten bad press for throwing money at their unqualified friends.
The judge has also granted a request from Paxton’s office to keep some details of the outreach plan under court seal, preventing public scrutiny of such things as which regions state officials could target with ads and which groups have been identified to receive education materials.
Which, in my mind, means they will all go to East Texas.
And would you like to know which law Paxton used to defend his “secret” voter information plan?
Paxton’s legal team cited a 1978 case involving President Richard Nixon, in which the U.S. Supreme Court held that media outlets could not have access to tapes from a Watergate obstruction trial.
Well, there ya go. When you gotta rely on Richard Nixon …
Oh hell, Texas, you’re still a flaming damn mess.
