election integrity Election Fraud in Texas

[gatomontes99]

6 people are charged in a Texas elections investigation involving ‘vote harvesting’

Two stories here:

A) Dems are running around saying there is no election fraud and then dems are caught committing election fraud. Ballot harvesting is illegal in Texas because it is well known that ballot harvesters would ditch votes if they disagreed with them. This was very common in retirement homes where harvesters would bring ballots, watch the elderly sign the ballot and then toss the ballots that they didn't want cast.

B ) Notice how the AP just ignores party affiliation in the title. They wouldn't do that if these were Republicans.

C) What YOU CLAIM is "well known" is just YOUR BULLSHIT.

Nothing but their hatred is sacred to these Libbies. Look at robo-dweeb here. Caught red-handed and still denies we don't see what we see.

People need to start going to jail for this as a realistic deterrent.

I was surprised to see a left4rd chime in here, but now I see you were just being snotty and not discussing the actual topic. (which is not at all surprising)

A. Vote harvesting is not election fraud. It is sometimes a crime though. and election crimes are real (just look at the sitting president) but in-person voter fraud (the non-issue that  the voter suppression party uses to justify a crusade for voter ID) is virtually nonexistent. 
B. Your dumb victimhood narrative is pure nonsense. Oh, and who made the initial accusation in this case? Another Democrat.
C. This kind of petty election shenanigan is really only relevant in penny ante races where a few votes can make a meaningful difference. 
D. Paxton is the grossest of political creatures, and has himself been accused of, indicted on and suspended for multiple felonies. Very low confidence that any of this is real. Talk to us when he gets a conviction.

 

All of this intense right-wing noise about voter fraud, ballot harvesting, illegals voting, double voting etc. exists for one reason: to undermine Americans' confidence in our democratic systems. That's it. It's not based in any way, shape or form on reality. It's not based on evidence--indeed, there is none. They simply know that if they create fear and mistrust it will divide Americans and pave the way for authoritarianism to "save" our country from a mysterious "other."

That's how dictatorships happen.
