Dumbasses! Election and voter integrity laws only suppress election and voter fraud, not the voting itself. Please make a note of it, and from now on, if you f*ck up your ballot or don’t even show up at the polls or don’t have the required ID, you might have to kiss your “vote” goodbye. Get used to it because if you’re legally registered to vote, you’re an adult and it’s your responsibility to get it right the first time. The “one person, one vote” approach to our elections has always been technically incorrect (against the law), but damned if they don’t just go ahead and do that and much more anyway, but not without both remote and direct foreign and domestic enemy alliances’ critical assistance in creating the illusion that “JoeBiden” was elected POTUS on 03NOV2020.

Not exactly clear on the specific charges the governor has in mind but it sure would be a nice gesture under the circumstances. And it could maybe stop these damned D political buffoons from sabotaging the very state government they swore thrust oaths of office to support and serve.

An old tactic

“37 years ago, during the 66th Regular Session, a group of 12 state senators nicknamed the “Killer Bees” organized in the Texas Legislature. From May 18 - May 22, 1979, the Killer Bees hid offsite to prevent the 31-member Senate from reaching a quorum on two bills: S.B. 602, which proposed an early date for a Texas presidential primary, and S.B. 1149, which related to filing fees for primary elections. S.B. 1149 was broad enough that it could be amended to include the provisions of S.B. 602.

According to the The Miracle of the Killer Bees (below), the group got its name from Lt. Governor Hobby, who told a reporter he called them that because “you never know where they’re going to hit next.” The Killer Bees were Senators Carl Parker, Carlos Truan, Chet Brooks, Ron Clower, Lloyd Doggett, Gene Jones, Glenn Kothmann, Raul Longoria, Oscar Mauzy, W.N. ‘Bill’ Patman, A. R. ‘Babe’ Schwartz, and Bob Vale.

Not just arrested. Throw then into jail with 24 hour lockdown and hold up their trial for 10 years. Then give them another 50 years after trial.

Grant Stinchfield had a picture of those losers - no masks in the plane. Hypercritical morons. Someone brought a case of Miller Lite on the plane.

Democrats charge it would suppress voter turnout of minorities.

No, it would suppress the voter turnout of the cheating RAT election thieves.

Their statement essentially labels "minorities" as stupid.

(condescending control freaks)

I agree.

there needs to be a mechanism by which these stunts are regarded as abandonment of the job.

then it triggers the legislature the ability to move forward with government business until such time as a new election can be held

and the ‘quitters’ cannot run for re-election

I hope Abbott and law enforcement are prepared for the commies to call on their pals at blm and panty-fa to escort them back to Texas as human shields.

in all the states there should be a law that missing a vote can trigger special elections in the counties that have no representation
