Supreme Court declines to fast-track Texas Democrats' bid to expand mail-in voting before July prima

The Supreme Court on Thursday denied a request by Texas Democrats to fast-track a review of the party's effort to expand mail-in voting amid the pandemic.

The unsigned order ensures that the Supreme Court will not hear the Democrats' challenge before the state's primary runoff on July 14.

In Tarrant County the elections office is having to use a employment agency to find workers.

I use to work the elections until they force my polling location down. Now I don't and won't ever work the polls again.

I just hope the people they find to work the elections are trained properly, since I voted in March.


And it comes as no surprise the highest court in the land decides to side with their party over voters rights. But we already know they don't give a hoot about voters.

Trump managed to shut it down until after the election.

So much for the "Impeachment will give us access to the grand jury materials" argument...
