Abbott has written an illegal order to close drop boxes for federal ballots.

A million reasons, but, let's start with the SARS-CoV-2 health emergency. It is putting voters into one spot to deposit votes. That is unhelpful. 

Then there is the federal judge that ordered the US Post Office to replace all the infrastructure it removed. 

Then there is the blatant disregard for the INTEGRITY of the 2020 election during a global pandemic. This is an attempt to suppress the vote. It is obvious and blatantly wrong. Such changes need to be made far in advance of the election. This is blatant tampering with the 2020 elections.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, (click here) a Republican, ordered counties to stop accepting hand-delivered absentee ballots at more than one location, issuing a proclamation that could make it harder for residents to vote early.

The proclamation, which goes into effect Friday, modifies part of Abbott's July 27 order that added six days of early absentee voting in the state in response to the Covid-19 pandemic. Fellow Republicans in Texas are challenging the additional early voting days in court.


After concerns were raised about the reliability of the U.S. Postal Service, voters have increasingly indicated a desire to use drop-off sites to ensure that votes are counted while avoiding the possible crowds on Election Day.

Abbott said he issued the new order to ensure the security of the ballots, which President Donald Trump has questioned as Americans have embraced early and absentee voting in response to the pandemic. Trump has sought to sow distrust about the outcome of the election by casting doubt, without evidence, on the integrity of the system....

I am surprised. Is it possible Texas is expected to turn blue by the Trump campaign? These are very desperate measures.

President Donald Trump and Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden neck-and-neck in Texas. But some Democrats have questioned whether the national party has bought into the idea that Texas is the biggest battleground state.

The Republican National Committee has sent three times more money to Texas than the Democratic National Committee—$2.4 million to $795,899—according to an analysis by the Center for Responsive Politics.

Beto O’Rourke, the former presidential candidate and most popular Democrat in the state, has repeatedly urged the Biden campaign to take Texas seriously. A poll released on Tuesday by UMass Lowell found Trump ahead of Biden 49-46 in Texas, within the margin of error....

Joe, put on your cowboy boots, load up help for those effected by the Global Pandemic and head to El Paso where Beto has a great constituency.

Then again construction boots might be just as good. Don't forget the baseball cap! Looks good!
