I wouldn't trust him with the power to overturn his own wheelchair.

It's actually probably a good thing, Dave. I just read an article and there is a valid, very restricted, reason to require a new election in the corrupt Harris County if they fail to provide enough ballot paper like they did last time.
I still don't trust Abbott or his cronies, though.

I'm no expert on the Harris County issues-----but this is hardly justified. Fix the damn problem, don't take away peoples rights!

Unless we are talking about different bills, no rights are taken. It is for a very limited "re-do" in the case of a compromised election.
I agree that the problem needs to be corrected, but I fear that this is as good as it gets under our new Republican party ruled by little Trump wannabes. It's a damn sad state of affairs.

Rights of the voters would be usurped if little Caesar overturns an election because the outcome didn't fit his agenda---or am I missing something?
