Did you actually look at the rest of the post? You know, about how Texas necessitates travelling in person while California does not; how Texas often had fewer stations even before the changes than California had after them; and how the closures are massively weighted towards minority areas.They are, they are pretty equivalent. The country is collectively moving away from having many local precincts operating for one day and towards alternative voting methods over longer periods. Both these states have weeks long early voting periods. Pointing to polling place statistics is not meaningful in that context.
Who told the straights about the cocktail thing!? I thought we were meant to keep that under wraps! It explicitly says it's on a need-to-know basis in my latest edition of The Gay Agenda newsletter.
HE WAS CLONED, YOU SHEEPLE NPC!Yet it was Trump who helped funded the vaccine lol.
I doubt Ted Cruz can even comprehend that other countries have "states".Conservatives; masters of Geography!
Dancing Around The Truth, Ted Cruz Can’t Admit A Mistake And Move On - HillReporter |
Ideally, when you make a mistake, you admit your error, correct it, and if appropriate, take a lesson from it to try not to make the same error again, and move on. If, however, the mistake was made in a partisan political effort to divide and attack, and if you can’t stand getting called out on...hillreporter.com
Yes, but you're just making the point I'm refuting with more details. You don't need to talk about more trees, you need to see the forest.Did you actually look at the rest of the post?
Since the point I'm making is that Texas Republicans have made voting significantly more difficult than California Democrats ever did, and that therefore the comparison is a false equivalence... then yes, details of exactly why its so much harder in one than the other are obviously relevant.Yes, but you're just making the point I'm refuting with more details. You don't need to talk about more trees, you need to see the forest.
So Texas Democrats haven't pushed back hard enough. I agree.Let me put it this way. Democrats in Texas are not gun shy about criticizing Republican voting changes, they are generally vigilant in looking for opportunities to call Republicans racist, and yet there is little to no pushback by actual Texas Democrats on the election rules change that replaced many voting precincts with fewer but universal voting centers. One of the articles I was looking at cited a Democrat as saying things were going pretty smoothly with them.
All I got is, LOL.The tweet has been deleted, but that didn’t stop Cruz from doubling down with a tweet referencing Footloose — a 1980s movie about a small town where the conservative government has banned rock music and dancing.
Or, hear me out, the changes made voting easier.So Texas Democrats haven't pushed back hard enough. I agree.
I saw this a couple of days ago and there was this horrible realization...I agree with Trump over this and he is some how the lesser of two evils in this case.I just thought this was hilarious.

The cult is turning on its leader.
One cannot read Texas SB7 and come to that conclusion.Or, hear me out, the changes made voting easier.
Try actually making the case, then. Address the points I've raised rather than just cutting them from your quotes of my posts.Or, hear me out, the changes made voting easier.
He prob thinks Cancun was in Texas as well.Conservatives; masters of Geography!

Because there is more than enough time for everyone to vote quickly, this issue is that you have lines first thing in the morning and last thing in the evening because people work during the day. By allowing people to vote in different places than precisely where they live, they can vote during a break at work and not be involved in the last minute bottleneck. Additionally, precincts are not set at one specific rate of processing people. Reallocating volunteers and voting machines to facilities that can accommodate more people could actually increase the pace.1) If a larger population is split over a smaller number of stations, how would waiting time decrease rather than increase? There's literally more people per station.
More people live further from their closest polling place in that instance, but the polling place where they live is not necessarily the most convenient. I, personally, have never been in the position where I didn't have to go out of my way to vote, because the place geographically closest to my residence is just not the most convenient for me.2) If fewer stations are split over the same geographic area, and the new locations are specifically not located at the spots of highest population, then why would average travel time decrease rather than increase? More people are further away from their closest.
You brought up duration of voting periods, not me.(Side question: why are you associating the early voting period with these closures, as if the former compensates for the latter or the latter makes the former possible... when the early voting period was in place years before and has nothing to do with the closures?)
It requires the state to make a way to track your mail-in vote online, it adds a rule that people need be allowed to submit their vote without necessarily voting on every election on the ballot, if they so choose. It funds new voting machines. It's strange to me that one might read it and think "this will make voting so much harder!" because they explicitly forbid practices that were only used in the 2020 November election, under the stress of an ongoing pandemic.One cannot read Texas SB7 and come to that conclusion.
You keep saying "could" while ignoring the real word "don't". Why is that? Have real voting centers never been tried?Because there is more than enough time for everyone to vote quickly, this issue is that you have lines first thing in the morning and last thing in the evening because people work during the day.
