Texas governor issues proclamation - counties may only have ONE ballot drop-off point in each county

[shinobi602]

Not subtle at all.

Telling people who want to vote they can't vote makes them want to vote more.

 

[Viewt]

Comically evil. And this isn't the last of it. They're going to continue to do everything they can to suppress our right to vote.

 

[Pez]

Eat shit, Abbott.

That is where I am at in this. Hope this blows up in Abbott's face.

 

[Parthenios]

It's a lot easier for white nationalists to intimidate ballot drop-offs if there is only one of them!

 

[ZW33]

Republicans continue to be really subtle with the election tampering and voter suppression.

 

[Fergie]

Of course, fair elections is a loss for them.

I watched the latest John Oliver and all 3 of the Netflix Vox Explained voting episodes last night.

I hate it here. There's so little hope to be had. Beginning to think the only way to fix shit is to have massive protests. Like regime changing protests.

 

[Version 3.0]

What took him so long? Haven't other red states done the same thing already? I'm sure I saw a story about Ohio weeks ago.

Anyway, fuck him. I hope this backfires like the GOP's bullshit did in the Wisconsin primaries.

Yeah, but the question is will they realistically be able to? That's what's being counted on.

The GOP in Wisconsin tried to enact a similar thing but were shut down.

Protesting is more than fine. But TX is also a non-participation state. I think we need to see more motivation among voters here too just to make sure.

 

[Transistor]

Oh fuck you, Abbott you piece of shit.

I can see a cabinet seat for Beto if Biden wins.

Well, that's not protests lol, that's revolution. Protests have already been shown to be ineffective, so yes, you are correct.

This!

 

[iksenpets]

One per county is ridiculous. It can easily become an hourlong round trip for someone if they're on the wrong side of the county. And if you wanted to engage in some real fuckery it'd be pretty easy to make sure the the drop box is as far from black or Hispanic neighborhoods in the county as possible.

Piece of shit. And you can bet you're gonna have these nazis standingby at these locations too. Trash.

Yea, wait until people have to walk past this to vote:

 

[Jegriva]

Texas continues to be all that Europeans thinks of steretypical America rolled up in one single state.

 

[Pez]

OP can you put this contact link in your original post?

Contact the Governor's Office

Connect with Gov. Abbott and his staff.

gov.texas.gov

I just gave them a piece of my mind over this BS.

 

[Coinspinner]

So designate an area that encompasses the county.

As a Texan, we definitely have some "special" folks here.

But by and large, most of us are reasonable, intelligent individuals.

At least that's what I keep telling myself...

 

[platocplx]

this is voter suppression. insane.

 

[Deleted member 31923]

Gross. And while I don't think it will actually happen, Biden winning Texas would be the best moment of 2020 for me.

 

[Isilia]

Just so blatant now.

*sees what happened in WI on april*

"I want to do that too!" ~ that fool who fell for RIS Jade Helm conspiracy theories

 

[Sleepyhead86]

What the actual fuck? Like how can you spin this as anything but straight up voter suppression?

Harris County (Houston) covers a huge area, and has a huge population of around 4.7 million

lol, these assholes sure do love to make voting as difficult as possible, I wonder why?

 

[GK86]

Sue the ever living fuck out Texas. Fuck this voter suppression.

 

[Chessguy1]

Same exact thing is happening in ohio.

Democrats sued and today it was just announced they are adding a second box in cuyahoga county, the rest still have one i believe.

Ohio secretary of state approves 2nd Cuyahoga County drop-off location for ballot collection

Ohio’s top election official approved a plan that will allow a second dropbox location used for ballot collection.

Harris County is 3rd most populous county in USA, with almost 5 million residents.

There is no reasonable GOP defense of this.

I feel a sense of very special kind of rage when I see these degenerate fascists.

Don't let these degenerates deter or bait you. Remember that not an insignificant number of law enforcement officers may either be involved with or be sympathetic towards these degenerates.

I hope theres a Proud Boy hanging around my neighborhood's ballot collection box in Seattle. Flipping him off will feel so good.

[Laevateinn]

People may only vote from official Republican Party campaign offices.

 

[RoaminRonin]

This is how you know Texas is in play this election. They wouldn't do this if they knew it was safely for trump. This is the last dying grasp of a traitorous party. VOTE!!!

 

[leder]

So this is fucked, and fuck Abbot. Obvious voter suppression.

But didn't Texas also only allow no excuse mail in voting for people 65+? Couldn't this backfire?

...this is actually part of it, yeah. They fully intend to have gangs of armed vigilantes hanging around polling places to intimidate (or instigate) "undesirable" voters.
