Harris County Commissioners Court on Tuesday voted to spend up to $12 million for an expected uptick in requests for mail-in ballots in the July primary runoff and November general election from voters concerned about contracting the novel coronavirus at polling places.

The three Democrats on the five-member court voted to give County Clerk Diane Trautman enough to send a mail-in ballot to every registered voter in the county over the objections of the two Republican members who said the clerk failed to justify the expense.

The DEMs are so much better organized than the GOP. Small, incremental changes. All without a shot being fired back or DEM politician hanging from the nearest lamp post.

Lina Hidalgo is running wild with the county credit card. $72,000,000 so far. Has she spent more than any other 28 year old girl?

The popup hospital she put next to the football stadium cost upwards of $60,000,000 and saw zero patients but some staffers were paid $2,000-3,000 a DAY.

2 Republican votes against 3 Democrat votes.

The other offices are run by Democrats at the city and county level.

At the state level the attorney general is fighting them. Democrats at planning state level Supreme Court challenges already.

If vote by mail is so great why don’t we tell them to just do that in Iraq and Afghanistan? Jimmuh Cartuh would be proud./s

Texas will be BLUE by 2024. WTF,we didn’t believe the left could do it when they BRAGGED that they WILL?????!!!! History will be written by the USSR (United States Socialist Republic) about how the former USA was destroyed in 60 days without one shot fired and the best part was that the country did it to themselves becasue Socialism was their future.

The state AG is, and the Texas Supreme Court will set it right. As the AG pointed out, fear of coronavirus is not a “disability” allowing one to vote by mail under the Texas Election Code.
