Best news I’ve heard all day.
“Best news Ive heard all day.”
It really is. I was sweating this particular election because I knew that the Dems would target it. If they lost this election, their party would be finished for DECADES in Texas, and they had to know it. If they could win this election and have the Dem be Lt. Gov., then everything would be in play.
But then something went TERRIBLY WRONG for them. Seems that their stunt regarding Voter ID backfired. They got their hack (Hispanic) federal judge to write a 147 page opinion shooting down Voter ID in 10 WORKING DAYS (i.e, she wrote it in 10 working days), complete with hundreds of footnotes (in an earlier post, I noted how amazed I am by the work ethic of Hispanics...but a 147 page judicial opinion, with the level of detail there, is simply not possible by any human).
So they tried to rig a rejection of Voter ID in Texas. They had the hearings (for 2 weeks) in September, and 10 working days later (early October), an ‘opinion’ that could have served as a PhD Thesis was written...right. The higher courts wanted NOTHING to do with it, and Voter ID, the toughest in the country, held, and any chance of Democrat victory ceased. They tried to get that opinion out so late that NO ONE could stop it - they learned a lesson regarding federal courts - they can move VERY QUICKLY, when required, and they did.
To vote in Texas, in 2014, required you show ID. The Dems lost by 20 points...winning is a lot harder when you are forced to play by the rules.
