TRENDING: FOX News Hack John Roberts LOSES IT! Whines over Twitter Attacks After He Refuses to Accept President Trump's Denunciation of White Supremacists

This is a huge win for the American election system and law and order!
Democrats are OPENLY attempting to steal the vote in numerous states this year!

A Federal Appeals Court overturned a lower court ruling in Texas on Wednesday. The court ruled Texas voters will not have the option to vote straight ticket in the state. This is something Democrats were hoping to push through at the last minute.

FOX News reported:

Texas voters will not have the option to cast a ballot for every candidate of a single political party with one mark during the November election, a federal appeals court said on Wednesday evening.

Texas offered straight-ticket voting for decades, but in 2017, Republican Gov. Greg Abbott signed a law eliminating the option beginning in the 2020 general election. A federal judge reinstated the practice this month, citing concerns about how the coronavirus pandemic could affect voting.

But the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals overturned that decision Wednesday, ruling that changes shouldn’t be made so close to the Nov. 3 election.

“The Texas Legislature passed HB 25 in 2017, and state election officials have planned for this election accordingly. The state election machinery is already well in motion,” the panel of three judges, two of whom are conservative, wrote. Eliminating straight-ticket voting and upholding the 2017 law, they said, “will minimize confusion among both voters and trained election officials.”

Early voting in Texas starts on Oct. 13.

Thank goodness. One court victory at a time.

I wish the Ballot Harvesting and late counting issues would get in front of the Supreme Court before the election (and after Amy Coney Barrett is approved and seated)

I, too, am wondering what a single straight GOP vote has to do with voter fraud.

Voting is not meant to be easy. Voting is a civic duty. You take time off work if need be to participate in the electoral process or lose out.

...straight ticket voting?
______________________________________

I was told a long time ago that voting straight ticket was one of the easiest options for having your vote fraudulently changed. Evidently, it’s always been very easy to switch that single check mark.

Besides, it’s better to research all the candidates and referendums and cast an informed vote for each.

It’s not bs. Democrats plan on cheating on a massive scale. One can bury their head but that doesn’t make it not true

When I was in N Carolina, you would mark the party ticket, then could cross over and vote for the other party in individual races by simply marking that box. So, if the voter marked the straight ticket and turned in his ballot, someone could then, say, fill in the box for Biden and change your vote.

Conservative voters tend to be more thoughtful and cherry-pick their preferred candidates.

Liberals, on the other hand, are belly-crawling dumbassed idiots and always vote straight ticket Dem. Don't be like them.

Having the straight party ticket option might save you a minute or two, but it saves teams of dems committing vote fraud far more time, because they only need to mark one box on every fraudulent ballot.

Good one for Texas. I will be up front when early voting starts.

Then I am going home and re-zeroing all rifles, load out mags and prepare man traps for when the masses start up.

Going to be interesting when PDJT wipes the country with Hidin Biden

Just my guess but It keeps the LIV at home. Someone not plugged into the races usually only vote straight tickets.

My in laws are whining about it because they always vote straight ticket and now with the hoax virus and this, they may just miss out but not be missed because they are Evilcrats

A lot easier to fake ballots when only one box needs to be checked....quicker too.
