Texas Supreme Court rejects GOP-led effort to throw out 120K votes

Think for a moment.....they are doing this in Texas. Texas is to the GOP what California is to the Democrats
To quote Ted Cruz (š¤®) again: "If we lose Texas its all over "
I honestly hope we see a huge blow out (obviously). Not only because I want to see Trump go away. But also because I want the turnout to send a message to Republicans more broadly. That their platform isn't working anymore and they need to change or go away.
Don't get too excited, the government is probably going to petition this to SCOTUS where there's a very serious the ruling will be thrown out.
Trump doesn't always get away with everything. We've had plenty of cases where even Federal & Supreme Court judges had ruled against him on a lot of things, even ones who he himself had installed.
So... with that new "stacked" Supreme Court, what's the chance that Trump and Co take this all the way asking for an emergency injunction and actually get it granted? I can certainly see them at least attempt it.
Got to go through the process. The Supreme Court only hears a tiny, tiny percentage of overall court cases in the county (well under 1%).
It's already slated to be heard Monday.
I'm betting they don't grant it, despite the stacked court, but the chances of it is fucking higher than it should be that's for sure.
Maybe .0001% chance at best these votes get tossed. It's an incredibly unlikely doomsday scenario that even Texas Republicans don't want. If SCOTUS somehow tosses out those votes against all precedent they would have to revisit the Wisconsin ballot deadline case and many others which would do far more damage to the overall Republican cause than it could possibly help.
So this is going to be a wild time. Hearing at 930. Protests at the courthouse. I'm not going but a friend is going to the hearing, if they can get in. Completely handled now by dnc folk. Lincoln project naacp and others filing amicus briefs. It is quite a show.
Let's hope for the best. If Biden does carry Texas, I know a few people who are going to lose their shit.
Edit: And I am going to smile all over our video conference on Wed.
If it can help Biden carry Texas - not valid
If it can help Trump - valid
It's pretty simple.
As someone who voted in one of those drive through tents, this is interesting to say the least.
They'd also be throwing out the votes of any Republicans who voted through those means as well.
I knew I should have went to a "regular" polling place, but I was already in line, so "oh well".

US Supreme Court already ruled that federal courts have to defer to state court rulings. However it is 2020 and good news is hard to come by
He should have checked the news before posting, because he is wrong here. Scotx making their ruling resolves that particular issue.
Republicans aren't going to do anything before the election. Too much risk it'll galvanize the Democratic party inclined further...now after the election when it's too late to change your mind? Oh they'll fuck with the vote alright. They'll go all out.
They will never change. They operate off pure self-interest and hate.
Finally, a reasonable and measured opinion that doesn't stoop to petty team sportsmanship!
