Cool, more Election Fraud by conservatives trying to Rig The System.
Sure is a good thing there’s no racism in America anymore.
will the poll watchers be allowed to open carry within 10 feet of the polling station?
will they be serving cocktails and have an open keg too? that’d be better than a chocolate chip cookie…
Not that it changes anything right now but a large majority of Texans oppose the stupid open carry law. Something like 70%.
I am very opposed to it but only about 3% of the population are even eligible for open carry because of the restrictions. That is still 3% too many.
But to answer your question – even though you weren’t really asking:
Areas that were considered gun-free zones in the past will remain gun-free zones. Places like schools, polling places, courtrooms, and secured areas of airports.
Both Dallas and Fort Worth prohibit handguns at City Council or other governmental meetings, as well as high school, college or professional sporting events on city property.
Businesses can choose whether to ban guns – but they have to post signs. ( Most businesses and organizations post these signs – NO guns allowed.)
This is so discouraging. I wish the judge would throw the guy in jail for contempt of court.
This won’t happen in Dallas County nor several other counties. County Clerk is a Democrat.
Affidavits, forms, checking databases, county clerks, investigations, court orders, public officials, DOJ, photo ID requirements… god bless small government. The GOP is willing to crawl up the populace’s collective ass with a microscope to eliminate non-existant voter fraud, but regulating the food we eat, water we drink, and air we breathe is “federal overreach.” If only we could reclassify polling places as small businesses, we might stand a chance.
Great; I’ll bring a rifle to city council meetings then.
Does this man have the legal authority to do what he’s proposing to do?
Stanart said he intends to investigate every voter who claims he or she
does not have the required photo ID and signs the court-approved
affidavit exempting them from the ID requirement. He said he would check
the state’s database of people to whom it has issued IDs against the
voters who sign the affidavit to see if they are lying about not having
the required ID. Stanart said that it’s “up to” the county clerk’s
office “whether anything happens” from the investigation.
So , are the voters allowed to vote , or will they be thrown out by the vigilantes ?
I’d like to point out that, if these laws were imposed by Dems and targeted at GOP-voting groups, you’d never hear the neutral-sounding “voter ID” term from the GOP.
As a voter living in Texas, I am ashamed and embarrassed to even admit that fact. The GOP hate for minorities is beyond shameful and illegal. No Texan with any sense of morals should vote for that crowd of haters.
Harris County has nearly 4.5 million residents according to its wiki:
As of 2014 Census estimates, Harris County had a population of 4,441,370 people.
The racial and ethnic make-up of the county was 41.8% Hispanic or Latino. The population was 31.4% non-Hispanic white, 19.5% non-Hispanic black, 1.1% Native American, 7.0% Asian, 0.1% Pacific Islander. [Harris County Demographics]
County Clerk Stan Stanart is one of the declining population of older non Hispanic whites who are trying desperately to maintain dominance and relevance. Hopefully we lose him along with Sheriff Ron Hickman (appointed after his predecessor stepped down to run for higher office - who now should have to explain why one of his underlings in Precinct 4 destroyed evidence for at least 9 years and Hickman never caught him - it took Hickman’s replacement less than a year to figure out what was going on and fire this guy)
The response for democrats should be obvious. Every single democratic voter should refuse to provide id, and sign the affidavit. Bury this asshole in paperwork.
