Republicans in heavy voter suppression mode in Texas

Republicans know they are in trouble in Texas. They know Texas is not a Red State. Texas is a non-voting state. It isn't so by choice. Republicans have ingenious ways of making voting inconvenient. Working people, people who are generally Progressive have a harder time voting. Well, they are trying other techniques as they fear the Blue Wave.

Vote early, hard to suppress voters. Gotta beat them at their tactics. Once they lose power, we can make the system work for all Americans to vote.

There are solutions and handwringing and complaining aren't among them
