    What a nightmare. Yet another shining example of why we need to vote morons like these out of office.

      Didn’t he recently pass a bill allowing him to reject election results? I think Texas is stuck with him. They have their very own Dictator! Good job, Texas!

        even worse, the law only applies to “counties over 4 million people” which is…Harris County, the most liberal county in the state.

        THEN the law also disbanded Harris County election commission, it will now be run by…THE SECRETARY OF STATE for some reason, can’t put my finger on it

        THEN if ANY complaints are filed over the results of any election, the election may be forced into a redo which as we all know and history has shown since forever, further discourages people to vote.

    I just caught wind of this as I was catching up on news. It remains frustrating to see the blatant hypocrisy of these folks.

    I’m sure it needn’t really be said as it’s probably been said a million times already, but it flies directly in the face of their supposed stance of “small government” or otherwise deferring to more local government.

      Absolutely ridiculous. Every time some idiot claims “but small guberment” they should be punched in the throat…or just harshly shunned I guess.

    Seems like Florida and Texas are trying to out get rid of “big government” by removing all of the basic rights everything is based on. Its just consolidation of power for tyrants under the guise of “Freedom”

      In reality they are creating their own Big Government to rule over all the local governments. Idiots that back and vote for them are completely silent about that tyrannical government they’ve been waiting to come knocking on their doors
