Don’t mess with Texas: Gov. Greg Abbott signs election integrity bill
The legislation establishes new ID requirements for voting by mail, enhances protections for partisan poll watchers and sets new rules, and possible criminal penalties, for those who assist voters.
Additionally, the law will:
~ Create uniform voting hours across the state
~ Prohibit drive-thru voting, which was used in Harris County during the 2020 election
~ Prohibit unsolicited mail in ballots, which were also used in Harris County in 2020
Holy moley. someone with a brain.
Most states can’t do this due to one simple reason. Their State Supreme Courts have been compromised and will overturn any such legislation as in violation of the State constitution. Texas, for the time being has a right leaning Supreme Court. But, the DOJ is already doing a full court press in the effort to overturn most if not all of this legislation. They actually did a press release stating just that.
Eventually, this will climb the ladder to the USSC and get overturned. Roberts will cave as instructed. Carry on.
Trying to prevent voting fraud is racisss! and stinks of white supremacism !
it is also oppressing women and it is homophobic!!!
It probably also hurts vegetarians and contributes to global warming in some way.
( and this is sarcasm of course, but I am sure a leftist reading this would be offended that I call it sarcasm )
No question proper documentation to vote is all that and more.
We only expect proper documents when you wish to dine out or attend a sporting event or the like.
I could only wish the last statement was as sarcastic yourself
The Anglosphere is the only part of the world where bribes are not expected to get things done, therefore racist. No other culture buys into that white rubbish that all people are created equal, most governmental groups recognize their own superiority and adjust bids from other racial groups proportionately.
Further, ballots are made of vegetarian food. Stop starving the enlightened! (better yet, find the human equivalent of Round-Up and work on cleaning up the gene pool).
Speaking of breaking the protocols and restrictions…
Trudeau saunter into a hospital for Election Photo Ops breaking Pandemic restrictions and hospital rules.

Rules for thee, not for me.

Yup. Who cares if the election was the most fraudulent ever in a developed nation, or if the US economy and the balance of power in the world is broken. No more mean tweets!
That’s worth going to hell for, isn’t it?
Well, at least, that’s worth maintaining the never-Trumpers worldview. Who cares about the state of the poor when there’s power to be collected and manipulated.
“Most fraudulent ever”
Lol
Still buying it are ya?
Voter fraud, which this bill blocks, was about the only way Democrats were ever going to take the state in any election, national or gubernatorial. Hence the Dems fled the state in July to shut down the legislature because they knew they were fucked. it might be an interesting question once this bill’s provisions take effect as to how many of the current crop of Dems in Texas get unelected at the mid-terms.
Almost, cgh, but never underestimate the power of the purchased vote. Wasn’t it President Johnson who was chortling over “we’ll have those niggers voting for us for a hundred years” for welfare (and, possibly, abortion)? As it turns out, at least for 50 years.
Interesting.
My just arrived Elections Canada voter information card states:
To vote, you must:
-be a Canadian citizen
-be at least 18 years old on election day
-prove your identity and address
Don’t tell True Dough, this will cut out some of his, and the NDipperP voters.
Must be breaking some “inclusion” laws………..
Per Elections Canada:
“You have three options to prove your identity and address.”
“To vote you must be a CANADIAN CITIZEN & at least 18 years old on election day.”
Acceptable ID to cast a vote if you don’t have a registration card:
bank statement
credit card
credit card statement
credit union statement
debit card
insurance certificate, policy or statement
mortgage contract or statement
pension plan statement
personal cheque
employee card
residential lease or sub-lease
utility bill (e.g.: electricity; water; telecommunications services, including telephone, cable or satellite)
library card
liquor identity card
property tax assessment or evaluation
public transportation card
vehicle ownership
student identity card
NONE OF THE ABOVE ELECTIONS CANADA ACCEPTABLE ID PROVE YOU ARE A CANADIAN CITIZEN? NOW GO READ THEIR “SECRET MAIL IN BALLOT RULES” AND TELL ME THE ELECTION IS NOT RIGGED!
elections Canada is a wholly owned subsidiary of the liberal party, so I.D. requirements are flexible. We in Peterborough are lucky enough to have an illegal immigrant as our M.P. :Now Trudeau fixed it for her after the lie was discovered but the circumstances did not change
Polling station electoral fraud is a complete non-issue. It simply doesn’t happen at anywhere remotely near the scale necessary to threaten to steal a race. It’s a logistical near-impossibility, in either the US or Canada.
*Bookmarked ;D
Nearly blue state, age demographics working against them, covid killing anti-vax MAGAts. I suppose all they’ve got left is vote suppression.
How are you still alive? Isn’t your brain in a mason jar filled with formaldehyde, sitting on a shelf in the Toronto Institute of Psychiatry’s abnormal brain collection.
You probably think shoplifting is just free stuff suppression.
“ You probably think shoplifting is just free stuff suppression.”
I lolled. That’s exactly how he thinks
No, but the corner dealer is now an undocumented pharmacist. Who are you to judge?
They shouId have incIuded one more requirement into their BiII. Given we are taIking about Democrats, there shouId have been a requirement that any voter who casts a baIIot – must be aIive.
We have an apples and oranges comparison here. We only get to vote for the candidate in our own riding, mail in or otherwise. In that debacle South of us, everyone was voting for the same race. So yeh, massive voter fraud was a very attractive option.
Here a seat is a seat whether it’s in the Yukon or downtown TO. The difference being of course that Toronto is seat rich.
So either focus the fraud there or perhaps in Quebec.(?).
BC is a blip.
The fact that you actually think this is going to make the difference will make your shock at the sight of Blue Texas all the sweeter.
