REMEMBER THE HARRIS VIDEO of the Black Democrat whistleblower I posted! He said this harvesting had been going on for years and he's had enough!! THE GOVERNOR must have seen the video too! We're winning Folks.

BREAKING: Gov. Abbott issues proclamation CLOSING (as of Oct. 2) satellite offices where voters can drop off completed mail-in ballots.

Counties can only have 1 dropoff point, he says. Travis has 4, including 3 downtown. Harris has 12.

Abbott says move, which also requires early voting clerks to let poll watchers observe ballot delivery, is an election security measure. Clerks said the multiple dropoff spots were to help voters, particularly amid questions about Postal Service efficiency.

Read the proclamation, which amended Abbott's July 27 order that extended early voting and allowed early dropoff of mail ballots, here:

Democrats criticized Abbott's order as a thinly veiled effort to suppress votes in a tight election.

Abbott orders counties to close multiple ballot dropoff sites

Gov. Greg Abbott issued an order Thursday requiring counties to close multiple locations where voters can drop off completed mail-in ballots.

As an election security measure, counties will be limited to one dropoff site where poll watchers — designated by political parties and candidates — must be allowed to observe ballot deliveries by voters, Abbott said.

The new order takes effect Oct. 2 and modifies Abbott’s July 27 order that acknowledged the pandemic’s danger by adding six days of early voting and waiving a state law that limits mail-in ballot dropoff to Election Day only.

Travis County has four dropoff locations, including three downtown, while Harris County has opened 12 locations as election officials strove to meet unprecedented demand for mail-in voting during the pandemic — particularly amid questions about the efficiency of the U.S. Postal Service.

“As we work to preserve Texans’ ability to vote during the COVID-19 pandemic, we must take extra care to strengthen ballot security protocols throughout the state. These enhanced security protocols will ensure greater transparency and will help stop attempts at illegal voting,” Abbott said in a statement.

Did he give a reason?

TRE45ON is the reason

I hear @marceelias music.

On the upshot...Suppressing the vote in TEXAS speaks loud for how they think this election is going for @realDonaldTrump .

Their internal polling must be horrific. They know he’s done.

It's not just that he's done. He was their Hail Mary play. They're scared *they're* done. And I hope to God they are.

They’re running scared.

They’re so afraid of democracy.

Vote suppressed. Let's have steak for lunch.

If manning the polls is anything like manning the Post Office, they probably can't find enough help.

Define “Fascism” please.

In the future it will just be spelled "tRUmpism" ... in every language.

They'll each be surrounded by a gang of Proud Boys

Their internal numbers must be awful for the @GOP to raise voter suppression up a notch

Historical blatant sabotage of democracy. Never before, and we must ensure: never again.

Controlled demolition

Next, drop off will be placed 50 foot high behind a basketball hoop and voters will be given three tries on a small trampoline to dunk their vote into the drop off bin No padding, training or safety harnesses will be provided

Call the @FBI and scream bloody murder. Deliberate suppression!

Is this something the @ACLU would have standing to secure an injunction against?

Dropping this off here. I posted this on our last thread.

It was really quite smart for Trump to mention the Proud Boys when he told them to stand down. The Proud Boys support Trump and have been falsely labeled as white supremacists. Now the fact checkers have to look into them. Trump may have just exonerated the Proud Boys.— Ian Miles Cheong

COMMENTS

Everyone’s making it seem like stand by means that he’s telling them to wait in the wings ready to strike. This is the also the definition, words and phrases have multiple meanings, it paired with stand down implies this definition not what people are trying to imply The stand down and stand back comment was perfect. He didn’t condemn them and should have no reason to.

Dims sure do know how to scream VOTER SUPPRESION when they get caught and can’t cheat.

And claiming Abbott is doing this because pubbies are losing is laughable.

Governor Abbott did this in response to two democrats being indicted for illegal ballot harvesting. But the idiots don’t let facts get in the way.

Texas does it right again. Drop off in many states means drop your ballot into an unprotected bin.
