This is exactly the type of *legal* maneuvering I’m talking about when I tell you that we should not assume this election is going to go as we hope. 1/4https://www.cnn.com/2020/10/01/politics/texas-governor-drop-off-locations-ballots/index.html …
Limiting drop off locations will absolutely suppress voting, and will disproportionately affect the poor, people who rely on public transportation, POC, and people who work long and/or odd hours. IOW, largely Democratic voters. 2/4
The article highlights Harris County, which will have drop off spots reduced from 4 down to 1. Harris County is home to a large proportion of minority voters, and is a huge County. 3/4
This is why I’m worried. Take this 1 action & multiply it by hundreds of other *legal* actions across states chosen strategically & we could be in trouble. Polls cannot & will not account for these types of suppression tactics, so don’t @ me about how great the polls look. 4/
EDIT: Harris County was reduced from 11 to 1.
They must really be worried to enact voter suppression in Texas...
How big is the 1 (one) per county drop off box?
Irrelevant. It’s how far people have to travel to be able to use it. And my original number was wrong. They reduced it from 11 to 1.
#TexasVoterSuppression @GovGregAbbott suppresses the vote in Texas.
A lawful order for an unlawful purpose is not lawful. This plainly fits that criteria.
