Political persuasion of elected officials certainly does determine the quality of a state and city. For example, recently in the news, left coast California is considering a bill that would ban conservative Christians from serving as police officers. And local politicians, donors, organizations, and volunteers are are presently working a recall campaign to remove the Governor of California, a Democrat. We all know what’s behind that initiative. While similarly progressive Portland, Oregon, is in the news because they cut police funding and have since experienced a 2,000% surge in murders.
Governor Greg Abbott, a Republican, named election integrity as an emergency legislative item earlier this year and doubled down on his priorities during a briefing Monday in Houston. He was joined by Senator Paul Bettencourt (R) and Representative Briscoe Cain (R), who have both filed several pieces of legislation to enhance election integrity in Texas.
The Governor discussed the need to pass laws this session to prevent election officials from jeopardizing the election process and encouraging voter fraud through the abuse of mail ballots and drive-thru voting. He also called for more transparency at the polls by ensuring that poll watchers in Texas are not obstructed from observing the counting of ballots.
Abbott said proven cases of voter fraud were somehow favoring the Democrat Party.
Texas Republicans cited numerous violations in Harris County [Houston, Mayor Sylvester Turner (D)], where local officials sent out ballots to everyone and then allowed drive-through voting.
“This last election we saw poll watchers being denied the ability to do their job,” Abbott stated. “What we have found in the past, there have been some local elections, the outcome of which was altered by election fraud that took place.”
Abbott also refuted Democrat claims of so-called “voter suppression.” He said a record high number of people voted in Texas last year and all legal votes were counted properly and on time.
This short article includes four examples of what democrat and GOP leaders see as being important in their geographic areas of responsibility. Sure, youthful ignorance is understandable. Age will take care of that for most people. However, whether liberalism is a mental disorder or not, it’s difficult to understand why anyone continues to vote liberal democrat communist while advancing into their mid life and certainly old age.
