A lot of things happened. Here are some of the things.
The Texas Secretary of State’s office will be sending out fewer voter registration forms this year because of a “paper shortage” and “the cost constraints due to the price of paper and the supply of paper,” according to the office’s spokesperson.
“Paper shortage”, eh?
The lame just get lamer and lamer.
(Asshole.)
Texas: There aren’t any voter suppression laws. Just follow the procedures and fill out all the right paperwork and you will be fine.
Also Texas: Sorry, Houston, we don’t have enough copies of the proper paperwork for you to fill out. We had to ship them all out to the counties with less than 10,000 people
It’s lame, because there are other ways to register. But I work in purchasing in the printing business, and there is a real paper shortage. We can’t get it. What used to deliver in one to seven days, now takes several months. I don’t know why, but I think it’s a combination of a lot of factors - pandemic, no young paper mill workers (because it is a dying business) and the older ones retired during the pandemic, etc…
They can just buy some of those bamboo-paper ballots from Gyna.
My cats have legislation pending that would assure open cans of tuna are scattered throughout the house. And if I insist on filibustering the sofa arms get it.
I guess they have plenty of printers and ink.
I’m sending a ream of paper to the TX Secretary of State today. Who’s with me?

Abbott’s scientists charge a fee on outside paper donations, to cover the cost of an independent lab analysis screening for bamboo fibers.
These kind of forms (especially when millions must be printed) aren’t printed on reams of paper. They’re printed on rolls of paper - tons of rolls of paper, 1,000 lb rolls of paper - and printing manufacturing plants can’t get it right now. We in the business are scrambling as to what to do.
I wish it was funny that the few semi-sane Republican operatives are so hapless before the goons of greater Trumpistan. But as it is, the situation leaves me more concerned as to where this all leads.
Our nation needs two parties that, despite profound disagreements, still believe in the basic precepts of democracy. Sadly, that is no longer the case.
Well, when you figure it out, order some extra for TX.
Trump’s ex-cronies had a conference call last Monday to discuss what to do about the mad king, and came away from the call realizing they can’t do anything about the mad king. Ex-White House chief of staff John Kelly participated in the call.
Because they surely can’t grant interviews where they speak out forcefully against tfg, or campaign against tfg, or volunteer information to the Jan. 6th committee or to prosecutors, or tell the truth about what they know about tfg.
Doing the right and honorable thing is out of the question because, you know, they’re spineless quislings.
Paper shortage y’say?
Ask trump, he’s got plenty…
Or go to any Staples or Office Max store.
Geeze Abbott
Suppressing age 65+ voters to pwn the libs.
(Age 65+ are basically the only people eligible to vote by mail in Texas.)
More than a few people are seemingly now in the position of begging Trump for his testimony, as opposed to the courts promptly ruling he has to give it.
“Pretty please, won’t someone throw this investigation a lifeline?!” is the order of the day now. Meanwhile Trump just hums along, business as usual…
“New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu ® said that he was turned off by the idea of a 2022 Senate bid when he discovered through conversations with Republican senators that their whole thing is about doing nothing.”
And this was news to him?
Seriously, this should be included in a bunch of 2022 ads
And just where is the Department of Justice in all of this?

Time for them to wake up and engage this nonsense in a serious manner.
Yes, many shortages of such basic things, for a variety of reasons.
But, as you say, there are many ways to register and they should be publicizing those. Dollars to donuts, they aren’t. 
This is funny in two ways:
More lies is his business.
