Texas Governor Was Behind Attempted Voter Purge
June 4, 2019 at 4:28 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard

“Electronic communications made public show Gov. Greg Abbott’s (R) office was a driving force in the state’s program to purge nearly 100,000 suspected non-U.S. citizens from Texas’ voter rolls,” the San Antonio Express News reports.

“The program was scrapped in April after the state settled lawsuits challenging it, and after Secretary of State officials publicly admitted they included flawed data showing tens of thousands of naturalized citizens were on the purge list.”

1. American Democracy in 2019

We have elections but we won't guarantee that you can vote or that your vote will be counted. Especially of your from a place that voted for Democrats.

2. The Texas GOP is the party of voter suppression

Beto's run has scared Greg Abbott and the GOP and so they want to suppress the vote.

The Texas Democrats managed to kill a bad voter suppression bill this last session that would made it hard to drive voters to the polls

3. And Whitley who wasn't confirmed because of this was given a cush job by Abott,

no doubt with a nice 6 figure salary.

Whitley and Abbott are long-time cronies.

5. Not surprising.

The asshole party (gop) hates democracy and the democratic process. They hate most people, except for those they perceive to be like them, or on "their team."

Fuck'em, fuck'em all.

I feel an enormous wave coming.

We are not quite there yet, yet I feel it's going to be big. Let's crush these m'fers, under a big, blue wave.
