to one drop-off site for absentee ballots, dealing a blow to Democrats and voting rights groups that won a temporary injunction blocking the mandate.
“The Governor’s October Proclamation provides Texas voters more ways to vote in the November 3 election than does the Election Code. It does not disenfranchise anyone,”“The plaintiffs have not established a probable right to an injunction blocking the October Proclamation. As a result, they were not entitled to a temporary injunction, and the trial court erred in granting that relief.
Democrats and voting rights groups said Abbott's Oct. 1 order, which allowed for only one absentee ballot drop off location for every county regardless of its size, amounted to voter suppression because the order would affect the state’s largest cities, such as Houston, some of which are Democratic strongholds.increasingly
signaled a strong preference toward early voting and to use drop-off sites to avoid crowds on Election Day.
I'd rather have a good job& lower taxes($2000more auto deduc)from a Pres who's a strong leader, than 4Trillion tax hike,jobs2other countries&long-lasting shutdown from an older guy who won't talk policies,just blames others,has done no good in 47yrs&often can't complete a thought
When the world gets an enema they’ll put the hose in Texas
GOP wants to suppress your voice! Go on, vote in person. It's not such a big deal. Vote early. Vote Biden.
F Texas
Authoritarian's smells
GovAbbott cheating, vote suppressing a$$h!3! Please resign. VoteBlueToSaveAmerica
This shows the courts are NOT working.
Texas is going to be one of the reddest states this coming election - they don't want to pay unemployment because they have to borrow at a high rate with feds, they think the pandemic is over, and the economy is not booming. You will not find a job when you move to Texas.
So the 1.2 million registered voters of Harris County, the home of Houston, have ONE drop-off site box for their ballots. The downtown metropolitan area is predominately blue (and Black) and the suburbs are red (and White)...I wonder about where they put the box?
That’s one of the most unjust actions I’ve ever heard of. Texas is actually performing voter registration in our face. Shameful.
It’s called collusion
'I don't want everybody to vote. Elections are not won by a majority of the people...As a matter of fact, our leverage in the elections quite candidly goes up as the voting populace goes down.' -Paul Weyrich
To democracy both sider assholes, all the damn time with that both sides damn lie that Republicans use to be big hypocrites and fascist!
Why is this allowed. How can the Idiot-in-Chief's values be so wide spread. So much hate. I am afraid of what is to come if he wins.
Texas is fucked up
Deals a blow to voters and Americans, not just Democrats. This is voter suppression.
So sad news for voters. This is the USA and we are treating voters as if they lived in a communist country. Shame on you, Texas.
Because 🔴 are cheaters.
Trumpturds are showing their desperation 😂😂 Big, big loss coming next month.
GovAbbott just handicapped the state of Texas.
Wow voter suppression is cool with half the country? I guess in a perfect world we’d vote Democrat and demand he pack the living majority out of it with liberals?
The First thing on the Agenda for Democrats should be to Exapand the Supreme Court
Didn’t one or more of those county’s have 500,000 to over million people in it? That Texas crazy 😜
VoterSuppression
Why Don’t Republicans want people to Vote?
Why is it that Republicans don’t want Americans to have their votes counted Someone please explain how this party, that professes to be the party of the people, yet they want to deny votes of Americans
I’m a native Texan and this shit makes me want to burn the whole fucking place down.
😡
Voter suppression by order of the court state sanctioned . An attack on black and Latinx voters . By a white supremacy regime .
This is unbelievable we are in 2020 and the right wing republicans of Donald Trumped don’t want our vote to be count. They’re trying everything to eliminate our mailing ballots. Too bad we are not scared of them we will stand up in line until we voted
That’s amazing. Bold faced voter suppression and I do not understand the Texas people putting up with it. I used to live there and I would think they would change things. This would make me upset enough to change my vote. Vote in 2020
“ ...a blow to [Texans and American democracy]...” there you go! Fixed it!
It's a blow to ALL Americans, because EVERY REGISTERED VOTE SHOULD COUNT. I do not support a party that actively and enthusiastically SUPPRESSES VOTES. That the courts should be a party to limiting voting dropoff to a single box per county in a pandemic is F*CKING UNAMERICAN.
Wouldn’t this be a blow to all voters
Too late. Texas Democrats and independents have early voted in record numbers for Biden! This is a a last ditch effort to keep Texas from turning blue... not gonna work! Biden2020 TurnTexasBlue
Amy will agree with this decision. Thank you all of you assholes that sat out 2016 or thought Hillary was the same as Trump.
Blatant, in-your-face voter suppression is alive and well in Texas. BidenHarrisLandslide2020
Voter suppression for sure and should be illegal, isn’t it already?!
This was expected and the electorate has gone passed this already. No effect on numbers.
The only way to protect our votes now is to Vote out those that choose to deny that right. Do your home work to find out who is standing in the way. Then Vote them out.
How is that a blow to voting rights groups? Seem like you’re at odds. Is it better for covid voting, to control, lessen exposure? Or worse for general voting?
Bc GregAbbott_TX knows trump will lose. Voter suppression bc it’s the racist party. Abbot is scared to death his state will turn blue. And he should be.
Dear God...this is sick
It's Texas. They all have horses don't they? Just put on your shit kickers, a 6 shooter and go vote.
So everyone stand in line and make all those people in that one place be required to stay there until every single vote has been dropped off.
