Judge blocks order limiting Texas ballot drop-off locations

People wait in line to cast their ballots in-person for the November 3rd elections at the early voting Chicago Board of Elections' Loop Super Site in Chicago, Oct. 1, 2020.

In a 46-page opinion, U.S. District Judge Robert Pitman of Austin said “the public interest is not served by Texas’ continued enforcement of a proclamation plaintiffs have shown likely violates their fundamental right to vote. This factor therefore weighs in favor of a preliminary injunction.” Republicans say the reduction in drop-off sites is necessary to ensure election security. Abbott's order also emphasized that poll watchers can observe ballot deliveries, which comes as Presidenturges his supporters to go to polling places and “watch very carefully,” raising concerns about possible voter intimidation.

Its happening in many GOP states!

I think Voter suppression is a phrase I didn't hear about much. Simply put, it is cheating to win. Republicans were sneakily and quietly doing this for a while. Thank God for the judges who stand for right. Now that you have been exposed, it won't be as easy to cheat.

So glad, I knew it must happen.

As it should

US elections voting history

Great news. One secure dropbox per county was absurd. Clearly voter suppression.

That's how the GOP wins. They cheat and lie. Time for something better than them.

IT IS UTTERLY AMAZING HOW THESE PATHETIC GOP GOVERNORS LATCH ON TO TRAITOR TRUMP. WATCH, AFTER NOV 3RD WHEN T RUMP LOSES, THEY WILL ALL DISAVOW HIM. IT WILL B COMICAL. THEY WILL SAY THEY NEVER REALLY SUPPORTED HIM. MARK MY WORDS!

Keep fighting. Vote blue. Biden/Harris 2020.

IMMABOS52901152 Greg Abbott all about suppressing the vote.

GOD HAD SEEN HIS ABUSE OF EARTHLY POWER TOWARD GOD’S CHILDREN. IT’S ONLY THE BEGINNING GOVERNOR. IN GOD OWN TIMING HALLELUJAH GLORY AMEN 🙏

The three blind mice could see this was an attempt at voter suppression. Waiting to see what half baked plan they go to next.

Then we’re blocking the judge

KennethHowardC3 Let people Vote however which way they want too. Stop the evil nonsense politicians. 👍🏾🇺🇸

Republicans: if you ain’t cheating, you ain’t winning

Yes thank god Abuse of power way to go Judge

Ohio did same thing and appellate court said they could?!

The Republicans are about to go into hibernation for a generation. The commitment to Trumpism has ruined the party.

Trump trying to steal the Election? Nothing he does surprises me.

Thank God for that Federal Judge; a real American who understands, the 'cornerstone', of our Constitutional Democracy; the fundamental right to vote.
