Texas Dem Says State Laws Suppress His Voters [semi-satire]
Semi-News/Semi-Satire ^ | 31 May 2026 | John Semmens

Posted on 06/03/2026 8:32:29 AM PDT by John Semmens

The Texas Democrat nominee for the US Senate James Talarico complains that "state laws limiting voting to citizens who must have valid IDs severely deters the voters I want to represent. I believe that every human has an inalienable right to choose those who will rule over him or her. This includes the huddled masses that have trekked thousands of miles to enter our country. Some states recognize this right. California, for example expressly prohibits voter IDs because individuals who have made this trek are not citizens and don't have the kind of valid IDs Texas is requiring."

Talarico criticized US District Judge Carl Nichols' recent ruling rejecting Democrats' claim that Trump's executive order requesting states to take steps to ensure that only properly registered citizens be allowed to vote, saying "the US Constitution grants the power to states to determine how to conduct elections. It doesn't restrict voting to citizens. Neither does the Constitution prohibit candidates from offering individuals financial or other benefits in exchange for their votes. Clearly, the kind of restrictions Republicans want will drive down voter participation. This is the opposite of democracy."

In related news, Talarico expressed his "appreciation for Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) recognizing me as the kind of new leader the Democratic Party and America needs when he was interviewed by Jake Tapper of CNN. He sees that I am not afraid to speak the truth that God is nonbinary. The church that I attend--St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church in Austin--believes that children need to be informed about gay sex and transgender options so they can decide for themselves whether these are the paths they want their lives to take. As the next US Senator from Texas I will work assiduously with my fellow Democrats to make these paths as easy as possible by defending the rights of gays and trans people to be treated the way they want to be treated by the rest of society, to identify appropriate penalties to enforce this right and to federally fund any needed surgeries along the way."

Just when you think a Democrat can’t say anything more stupid than they already have — they do!

He’s absolutely correct. Illegals, out-of-staters and multiple voters hardest hit.

Here is a radical idea Mr. Talafreako, try representing citizens!

Unreal. He openly states that he wants non-citizens to be allowed to vote. He wants to "represent" illegal aliens, who are in fact, foreign criminals.

If: DemocRAT

This is a fundamental law of the multiverse.

HE used the verb “rule” not “govern.” A true totalitarian.

I think this is satire. I don’t think he actually said this. He probably agrees with it though.

The verbal gymnastics Democrats use to tell us why they don’t want voter ID are getting endless.

When this fool and Democrats from Texas and throughout the country show up at the state convention later on this month in Corpus Christi they will all be wearing name ID’s.

The hypocrisy of that political party never ends.

Given his views of government and the nature of man he belongs in the hypothetical, created world most often imagined in a university faculty lounge ... but alas he does have the smarts to be on a university faculty.

He’s probably right Texas voting laws will not allow the illegal aliens to vote so his voters are being suppressed They also need to go to jail

Could be a combo unit of a deviant and trespasser.
