    We can fight back against some of their voter suppression tactics

    If you know people in texas, make sure they are checking their voter registration and re-register if purged

      I use this neat trick to avoid getting purged. I register Republican.

      Then I vote straight Democrat. When I can tell who the Democrat is. It’s not always easy in this dang state and all the stupid positions that are SUPPOSED to be non-partisan.

      Fucking whacko fundies ruin everything.

        “How could there be so many votes for the evil Demonrats when we have so many registered Republicans? That must mean they’re cheating so we’re gonna toss all the ‘irregular’ Demonrat votes!”

        Damn…that’s…actually pretty smart. Even if they catch on that people are doing this, what are they going to do? Purge republican registered voters?

        I’m in MN and this is why I love mail in voting for all. I was able to sit down at my computer with my ballot and research all of the non-partisan candidates to see who they really are. There absolutely was a conservative nutjob vying for every contested spot.

      Vote.gov 5 days left to register in Texas. You have to watch the fine print too on how to register. Follow the instructions closely.

      It’s not just about voter suppression anymore. It’s also about using bullshit fraud accusations and lawfare tactics to stop the votes from being counted after they’re cast.

      Frankly, I’m getting sick and tired of hearing the same tired refrain from people who don’t understand just how dire the the fight against the fascists’ tactics really is. WE NEED MORE THAN JUST MOTHERFUCKING ‘VOTER REGISTRATION’ TO STOP THIS! The tactics we need to be talking about are things like organizing counter-protests and removing traitorous MAGA election officials before they have a chance to conduct their sabotage.

      PLEASE check your voter registration in TEXAS! If you moved in the past couple of years and changed counties, you REALLY need to check. If someone moves from Dallas to Plano, that’s a completely different county and you need to make sure you are registered in the RIGHT county! Hell, some of these cities are so massive that they span MULTIPLE counties! Like if you moved from East Frisco to West Frisco. Same city, different county (Collin to Denton). Or if you moved from East Dallas to North Dallas, you may have changed counties too (Dallas to Collin)!!
