(113,043 posts)Enough with the narrative ONLY Dem heavy voting counties NEED to be audited because Dems are cheating bullshit. This is about changing out election officials to purge Dems.
Go after EVERY Republican county, too - turnabout is fair play. Time for turnabout, Dems. Equal protection.

SO if Abbott won a precinct in 2018, the Presiding Judge must be a Republican and the Alternate must be a Democrat. The judges are appointed by the County Commissioner's Court for a term of 4 years. The precinct I work went to Abbott in 2018, so I am the Alternate judge for that precinct location.
the balance between parties is already in place and not likely to change
We do not hold primaries at that location for some dumb reason, so I get farmed out to wherever a lead or alternate judge is needed for the Democratic halfo of the room.
In a primary, there will be a Republican team & a Democratic team.
I have to tell you they are SOL in Tarrant County. Our election system is nearly perfect. It'd be very difficult to find anything that would make a hair's breadth of difference and we run tight ships in most of our voting centers. I have heard stories of lead judges who let people get away with anything just to get them voted but those are very few and far between. .0
