By restricting ballot boxes to just one per county is driving more people to vote in person, which will spread the virus even more in Texas. This will cause many more to vote against all republicans on the ballot, and backfire on them in Texas. Abbott is desperate to try and save trump and others but he's failing, and by doing this more are turning on all republicans. I know 6 that are done with Abbott, trump and all republicans, and maybe done for good after seeing how much they lie, and because of the corruption . These people have been hard core republicans all their lives , and now will vote them out of office. These people are pissed what's been done to their former republican party under trump, and his followers in office. Abbott will never win another election in Texas . Abbott's turning Texas blue.

(171 posts)Many of our Democratic poll workers in rural Texas are in their 60's, 70's and even 80's and they are being forced to work with Republican workers who refuse to mask up. This is despite the wishes of our Republican County Clerk to require them.

Has the governor tried to legislatively strip any power they once had?

(36,827 posts)What Abbott knows is Texas will inevitably turn blue. All they can realistically do is delay the inevitable. Once the Democrats win a statewide election theres going to be a tipping point to follow at which they are just going to collapse. Once this happens Texas will be blue and the Republicans will never be able to make the electoral college math work for them again.
Abbott also knows anyone in Texas can request a mail in ballot due to disability they dont have to declare or prove. Im sure he knows just how many have been requested and he has to know they arent going to favor the GOP. The future is now and they just got left behind.
