Houston Femocrats ran on making law enforcement more lenient on minority yutesl, turning out huge Black and Brown support that defeated every Republican judge.
Some of those judges gave the voters what they wanted and dropped cases against minority gang members,releasing them back into their hoods. The howling began immediately from the same people who voted for leniency.
One of these days the pendulum will swing back violently.
It may never swing back. The offices that worked to require voter ID and pruned the voter rolls of dead or ineligble names are now held by Democrats in Harris County. They also get to control ballot language (vote NO to approve, etc).
