    Worked the Harris county election return next to the Astrodome during said election and was very impressed with the coordination.

    Saw an older gentleman try to surreptitiously film us while talking conspiracy during ballot drop off. Even with those shenanigans there exists no evidence yet the Republicans filed the aforementioned “lawsuits challenging their stolen elections” regardless.

    And now they want to wrest control of one of the largest and well oiled election administrations in the nation based on absolutely nothing.

      That’s what they do. Find effective government and then sabotage it so that they can shape it according to their agenda.

      The IRS is a great example of this. Make taxing slow, painful and expensive, and then turn around to complain about taxes so you can give hefty tax rebates to the rich and prevent money from going to infrastructure and instead funnel it to the same rich people via subsidies.

      It’s so fantastic to see democratic mechanism get gamed for the power games of a petty few.
