"SNIP.......

“The Republican Party in the second-largest county in the Texas Panhandle is planning to conduct its own election during the state primary in March, breaking away from a nonpartisan county election board in a highly unusual move,” the New York Times reports.

“Under Texas law, county parties are allowed to run their own primary elections, but the vast majority have contracted with local boards of election for decades. The decision, which was reported by Votebeat, an election news website, comes as Republicans nationally have continued to push baseless claims of fraud in the 2020 election and sow doubts about the reliability of election machinery.”

Republicans running the republicans primary. What happens when the losing candidate disputes the results? Can’t blame the election board or democrats. Let’s see how much fraud arises and his it is handled. Or will it be like the communist party in Russia. The person who wins is the person who’s supposed to win.

about fraud, why don't they advocate for a system that'll print a receipt after someone votes which will verify who they voted for? Oh yeah, because they are pieces of garbage who don't actually believe there is voter fraud. They just want to continue lying to their base and keep them riled up.
