There is one way to change a county from Democrat to Republican. It's like this: If you are going to play a game, you better know the rules. In politics, the rules are The Texas Election Code. Democrats do not know the law, therefore they do not know the rules of the game.
We used election law to change our county from Democrat to Republican in four years. They hated us, but tough cookie.
In every county, the power to run the Central Counting Station was in the hands of the county clerk or elections administrator. If that person was a Democrat, he/she could keep Republicans out of central counting. If that person was a Republican, he/she could keep Democrats out of central counting.
We were kept out of our Central Counting Station, so one day my husband said he was going to fix that. He wrote a bill to allow both parties in Central Counting and it created a Judge at Central Counting and that Judge would be of the party who gubernatorial candidate won the last election. That is how Precinct Election Judges are determined. Creating that Judge position in Central Counting took the power away from the County Clerk or Elections Administrator. The process was now fair to both parties.
The bill passed both the Texas House and Senate without a word being changed.
When this new bill, now a law, was passed and it was reported in our county paper, we were informed our Democrat County Clerk threw the paper across the room and was furious the rest of the day. Her power was gone and now there would be a Republican Judge running Central Counting. There would be an alternate judge of the opposing party just like at a precinct polling place.
If our County Clerk had not kept us out, my husband wouldn't have written that bill. That County Clerk cut her throat when she kept us out. The bill needed to be written, however, so all counties would have fair Central Counting Stations.
Do you see what I mean by knowing the rules (law)? You win if you know the rules.
