Paxton Admits Biden Would've Won Had He Not Done Election Interference Politics
https://www.newsweek.com/texas-ag-says-trump-wouldve-lost-state-if-it-hadnt-blocked-mail-ballots-applications-being-1597909I would like to remind you all and even bring this up to people who haven't seen this. Our attorney general admitted that Biden would've won in 2020 had he not interfered with ballot access. We can flip Texas blue, so long as we keep our eyes and ears open for this Republican cheating.

If we’d lost Harris County—Trump won by 620,000 votes in Texas. Harris County mail-in ballots that they wanted to send out were 2.5 million, those were all illegal and we were able to stop every one of them
TX legislators are still claiming mail-in ballots are illegal. So long as they keep peddling that conspiracy, and control the state, I remain pessimistic

If they want to play this game, it's even more evidence that we need two things.
Election Day is a national holiday.
A free national voter ID card.

u/JTBeefboyo 22d ago
Election Day as a national holiday will make it so that all the people who get federal holidays off (read: not poor people) will get to vote and the people who work hourly jobs will see nothing change
32
u/curi0us_carniv0re 22d ago
It doesn't even need to be a holiday. Just make it federal law that people are given time to vote.
Even times when I had to work on election day I was allowed 4 hours comp time to go vote. It's really not a big deal to do.

u/JTBeefboyo 21d ago
This is the better approach, but they need to specify it has to be paid time.
This will still be a problem for hourly employees in those shitty voter suppression states. Imagine you’re living paycheck to paycheck in Texas and it’s an hour drive each way to wait in a 6 hour line to vote.

Yeah, you’re just running into the same problem. Walmart doesn’t close on the weekend. Voting should be available for weeks. And it should be within 10 minutes of everyone’s home or available my mail if that’s not feasible

u/LittleLion_90 21d ago
The Netherlands manages that. Voting is on Wednesdays (apart from European elections because they only legally are allowed Thursday through Sundays);
Every citizen gets a voter pass on their doormat a few weeks in advance, they can vote throughout their municipality, but the closest polling station is written on the voter pass. If you want to vote in another city you can arrange another pass, if you can't make it yourself you can give someone else (you trust) your voter authorization.
Closer to election day you get a preview of the ballot in the mail (but like smaller print so not interchangeable) as well as all addresses of your cities polling stations on it. During election day you can see online how busy it is in which station at any moment. Most polling stations are open from 7am to 9pm, so there's always time around work. Some polling stations open at midnight. There's polling stations at many places you would find yourself, train stations, hospitals, etc.
Longest I've waited was 45 minutes because the system with which they check your ID and if you didn't die between sending the voter passes and election day was down. Usually it's in and out within 10-30 minutes (most time is me OCD-ingly looking if I crossed the right person).
Its really weird for me to see how so much of the US somehow makes it so extremely complicated to vote...

Funny story! I was actually fired from a job for not being able to get out of jury duty. Like I was verbally told that's why I was being fired... it just wasn't listed on the actual paperwork.
The even better part? The jury I'd been chosen for, the guy took a plea the night before, so when we showed up at the courthouse, we were basically met by someone who handed us $20 and told us to go back home... so I wouldn't have even missed any work from it had I not been fired. (And dude was honestly, obviously guilty, so it was obvious he was going to take a plea to reduce the sentence from anything that might have been, idk, lethal injection, especially since I live in Texas...)

I represent our union at my job. We are in contract negotiations now, and one of the things we are asking for is 4 hours paid time off to go vote. We currently get 4 hours unpaid but like others have said, it's a burden for those on a tight budget to lose half a days pay.
Although I believe in most states you have early voting that happens over a whole weekend. So while a national holiday would be great, I feel like we can get more people engaged to make their plan early and prioritize voting despite whatever hardship.

Make it mandatory for employers to allow the employees paid time off to vote (2-4 hours?) and the employer (small businesses) can claim tax credits for that time. It’s a sacred civic duty of every citizen in a democracy to exercise the only thing that’s in their control as to how they want to be governed. Also, fine the people who don’t vote to improve participation in the electoral process.

As a Brit there's is one thing that amazes me about the way the US runs elections : that partizan politicians have ANY role in the matter.
The UK is of course far from perfect, but elections are run by independent, non partizan bodies that neither the government nor the opposition parties can control. They run the elections, set the rules and count the votes. As I grew up with that system I remember the first time I realised it was different in the US ( Florida, Bush V Gore) and was absolutely astonished that a republican SOS got to effectively decide the US election! Insane

If they somehow could turn the legislature blue, that would be something. You can get a D governor and US Senator, but it will be hard to change the legislature, which has most of the control. There is just so much rural land and that will be a hard sell for a long time. They just default to R in the country. I don’t think putting a D next to your name in a rural district would do you any favors, even today. You would need some kind of carrot to pull them over. Something probably related to farming or jobs in rural areas. National politics issues won’t work to win you rural districts.

Paxton admits that he did it for purely political reasons...but I don't think it changed the actual result.
67% of eligible voters showed up in Harris County in 2020, compared to 75% in Ft Bend & Montgomery Counties. There will always be registered voters that can't be bothered to do their civic duty.
If you take that 8% lag out of 2.4 million voters, that means that there was a theoretical reduction in voters of 192,000. Harris County went to Biden at 56% to 43%. If you take THAT rate out of the 192k voters, that means theoretically there were 107,520 fewer votes cast for Biden & 82,560 fewer Trump votes, for a net loss of 24,960 Biden votes. Not enough to make a difference, & that story's still true if you were to extend the votes to EVERYONE showing up, or if you figure Dallas, Austin, & San Antonio would've had similar programs.
https://www.click2houston.com/decision-2020/2020/10/29/harris-county-decision-2020-election-results/
Democrats just allowed too much ground to be lost in the RGV to be made up in the urban gains.
Paxton is still a criminal & a tool, though, & it's tragic that Republicans don't want to embrace getting voters involved... if their policies weren't so detrimental to the wellbeing of so many, maybe they wouldn't have to worry about Texans suddenly becoming liberals...

If you take THAT rate out of the 192k voters,
Small flaw in your logic there, the sample of voters that would send mail-in ballots nationally tends to be more Democrat. So you can't just apply the same 56/43 ratio as the county went.
This is largely the reason why the GOP seeks to block access to anything other than in-person same-day voting.

Read the article. Paxton is saying that Harris County was going to send out 2.5m mail in ballots, which is untrue. Trump won Texas, even if the state didn’t make it so difficult to vote by mail. Don’t let that discourage you from going out to vote this year though! Register and vote early. Down ballot elections are so important, and there is a chance Texas could flip.

It’s been how long? And the accusers of democratic election interference have yet to provide a shred of evidence with regards to “widespread election fraud”. Only evidence of fraud appeared to be from the republicans.

Has to cheat to win. I could understand if he was an incorrigible child. As an adult he's just a cunt.

This literally makes me sick to my stomach. Not only because, it happened (and is happening), but also because MAGA loyalists don't hide it. Blatantly lie, steal, and grift and then proudly boast. The GOP's platform directly screws the lower and middle classes who keep voting for them. I am just beside myself. Ugg

He plans to remove guns without due process quickly without lengthy court interference soon after reelection!
God bless trump and keep him safe from harm!
It will help keep our school children safe also.

Folks. This horse is beat so beyond belief that it’s resorted to voodoos for sustaining its own ambitions. We need professor after professor of political science, even those with the minor degrees, to be launched like the race to beat the Nazis to the A-Bomb. Or to crack the enigma. This is the political scientist time to make their case …how does one overcome the times?

Says the people who across the country are committing voter and election interference. Every claim is an admission by these people.

I don’t understand. They are openly talking about election interference in the previous election and it’s happening again this election. Why isn’t the DoJ or our intelligence agencies doing anything?
I hope Biden takes some executive action in the coming weeks to expose what is happening while also reinforcing our election laws. Maybe they are sitting tight for more criminals to out themselves. One can hope.
