Get Those People Off The Voting Rolls, Poncho!
Republicans are totally convinced that they are losing elections in Texas because “illegal aliens” are voting.
Yep, that’s the only reason Texas is turning blue because it couldn’t be, by gawd, bad government by Republicans.
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, the chief law enforcement officer of Texas, has been under indictment on three felony counts of securities fraud for the past five years but has kept it out of court with prissy legal maneuvering and political ploys – mainly by getting his friends on his home county’s commissioners court to un-fund the special prosecutor in his case.
Anyway, his latest dally into the world of Republicans who are so deeply and religiously honest is this one: Paxton is standing behind the idea that 95,000 undocumented workers are registered to vote in Texas.
Caca del toro.
The Texas Secretary is appointed by the Governor.
The Texas secretary of state’s office announced Friday it would send local election officials a list of 95,000 registered voters who the state says counties should consider checking to see whether they are U.S. citizens and, therefore, legally eligible to vote.
In an advisory released Friday afternoon, the office said it was flagging individuals who had provided the Texas Department of Public Safety with some form of documentation — including a work visa or a green card — that showed they were not a citizen when they were obtaining a driver’s license or an ID card. Among the individuals flagged, about 58,000 individuals cast a ballot in one or more elections from 1996 to 2018, the secretary of state’s office said.
In 2014, the latest number I could find quickly, 52,879 immigrants became citizens in Texas. That’s one year, so I speculate it’d be more than that if you went back to 1996.
This is a lame excuse to remove legal citizens with same name syndrome from voting rolls. Or to make people travel to election offices during business hours with their birth certificates or naturalization papers.
The only voter fraud I know about was in my own county and all three involved Republicans.
Y’all, for the past month I have been working on a special project about more voter fraud – or voter stealing – in last November’s election in my own county. I’ll be able to tell you about it in a week or two. And do I need to give you a hint on who did the vote stealing? No, I don’t think I do.
And don’t forget in DC that Wilbur Ross aka Marie Antoinette, is working to get the census to have a citizenship question.
1I will believe them when I see 95,000 arrest warrants.
Or are thew soft on crime?
2Folks who frequent the Beauty Shop are no doubt aware of the following, but just to make sure everyone is informed: that’s his MUG SHOT. Yessiree, the Attorney General of the Great State of Texas has a recent mug shot.
3Wingnut math, or leveling the playing field via subtraction, and other dumb tricks to steal elections. That worked so well in 2018, has even less chance of success in 2020, but will they catch on by 2048?
4I checked with our county Tax Assessor this morning. She has not received a list. When she does, we are going to work it. The list will give us a good place to really do some Hispanic outreach. Odds are these people might have moved; married, etc. We are going to do our best to find them and get them involved.
5Someone as honesty challenged as idiot Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton should not be trusted to find the perpetrator of a missing box of Twinkies let along finding those who voted fraudulently. Simply selecting SnacilbupeR from the full roll would help winnow down the possible suspects.
6From all the evidence found so far the only aholes cheating at voting are the rePUKEians Themselves!!!!!
7When you can’t win fairly, cheat cheat cheat. Evidence keeps piling up as to which party is doing most of that.
8But. but. but… who the hell has been in charge of state government since 1994? And should have ‘prevented’ this imaginary fraud… Oh yeah, those corrupt Rethugs.
