1. WTF

They won Texas.

Exactly what do they want to accomplish?

They simply are trying to continue to undermine the confidence in the election system.

5. YUP!

So if they get blown out in the next election (a girl can dream, can't she), they can try to undo it.

16. They will come knocking on doors to "audit" voters in person.

The chilling effect is the point.

2. Looks like the Cyber Ninjas Dude

has a boat payment coming due.

TFG won Texas! Why the hell do they need to waste taxpayer money on an audit? Wouldn't you think they could use that cash to - for example - fix the power grid? Or send Ted Cruz back to Cancun? Something worthwhile?

Sheesh.

4. And Democrats can't stop them.

6. What a curious restriction

"The independent third party appointed under Subsection (a) shall audit every precinct in each county with a population of 415,000 or more." That's the 13 most populous counties out of 254 Texas counties. I guess there were no problems in those 241 other counties, huh?

7. Of course (Republican) not.

9. That's cause they don't want to catch where the fraud is really happening

In Republican counties where crooked law enforcement controls ballot and voting machine security.

13. Yup.

This won’t be statewide, just Dem pockets.

11. That's how they target Democratic areas in Texas

County > 200,000: You have limited polling sites....(They got rid of that stupid thing in the final bill thank god)

8. Trying to justify their voting suppressions . . ..

Texas is out of control, civil rights, women's rights, voting rights - equals to no rights for people of Texas with some exceptions.

[Sogo]

10. Why, because they don't think Trump carried the state??

12. As a Texas liberal - I fear that they will be looking for us soon. I live

om rural Central Texas and had to stop wearing liberal t-shirts when I took my daily walk. I have been almost run over my shitkickers in dually trucks many times. We have some real wackos in this state. The cities aren't that extreme but rural Texas is really, really backwards.

14. chaos and someone is making buck

15. The Texas Taliban is showing the state's citizens who's boss.

Like the Taliban, the GOP is striking while the iron is hot to put people in line. Expect more legislation like this.

They’re on a roll. I’m sure they have other people in their crosshairs.
