"is it possible to challenge the votes in the district to maybe "Weed out" the massive Illegal voter pad the DemonRATs have?

Is it feasible to maybe cut some of that voter base for Representative Dog$#it?"


Doubtful. Voter turnout is very low in the heavily Hispanic parts of the district, so I don't think too many illegals are voting. And Hispanics in several of those counties probably vote Republican at higher percentages than Anglos in the part of Austin included in the district (and of course blacks in Austin are almost exclusively Democrat). The slight chance we have of beating Doggett is contingent upon us *increasing*, not decreasing, the Hispanic turnout, and a Hispanic Republican such as Rebecca Armendariz Klein can exploit Doggett's cultural liberalism and the fact that he's not Hispanic nor from the Rio Grande Valley.
