Why is the Harris County CEO extending lockdown while Texas reopens?
Hot Air ^ | May 21, 2020 | Karen Townsend

The goalposts continue to shift during the coronavirus pandemic lockdown. At a time when every state is now in the process of reopening to one degree or another, some local officials are finding it difficult to loosen their grip, even in the freedom-loving state of Texas.

Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo announced yesterday that today she will sign an order that will extend the county’s ‘Stay Home, Work Safe’ order until June 10. The first reaction in my home upon hearing this during the late-night local news broadcast (ok, it was just my husband and me) was what the what? This extension will have to be amended to comply with Governor Abbott’s order to reopen the state. Hidalgo will hold a press conference today to clarify her decision.

Because she’s a Chavista, imported from the Wasteland known as “America Sur” to bring ruin on the stupid Gringo Empire, now run by the slowest of the descendants of the Settlers.

Run by Democrat minorities who love keeping Whites down. All they need from Whites is tax money.

BECAUSE they are kicking the can to push for the July runoff to be vote by mail. And if the July election is vote by mail for all the case has been made and won for vote by mail in November.

She put the DNC Finance Chair in charge of our Summer and Fall election!


(DNC) Finance Chair Chris Hollins... Appointment as Harris County Clerk (2020 Houston vote fraud coming!)
Texas Democrats ^ | May 20, 2020 | no byline
https://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3846887/posts

Today, Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo and commissioners of Harris County appointed Texas Democratic Party Finance Chair Chris Hollins as Harris County Clerk.

The county clerk is the county’s chief election officer and is responsible for administering elections in Harris County, the third-largest county in the country.

Texas Democratic Party Chair Gilberto Hinojosa and Vice Chair Dr. Carla Brailey issued the following statement:

“The Texas Democratic Party is proud Chris Hollins will take the next step in his commitment to public service and the people of Texas.

“Chris will build on the progress started by Dr. Diane Trautman and will be a true leader for the Harris County Clerk’s office, defending the right to participate in our democracy for all voters.

“There is nothing more important than the sanctity of the vote. With so much at stake this year, Harris County voters will have a proven leader who is ready to fight for their right to fair, accessible, and safe elections.

Texas Democratic Party Finance Chair Chris Hollins issued the following statement:

“I am honored to serve as the next Harris County Clerk and to provide vital services to the residents of Harris County during this challenging time. I cannot thank Dr. Trautman enough for her service to Harris County, and I look forward to working with her talented staff.

“This November, our office will administer the most consequential election of our lifetime amid a global health pandemic. The right to vote is fundamental to our democracy, and I will work tirelessly to ensure that Harris County residents can exercise that right safely, conveniently, and with the peace of mind that their vote will be counted.”

Oh, this is terrible news. I was wondering what would happen since Trautman is stepping down. I was hoping the replacement would be named by the governor.

Imagine the screeches if Ed was still judge & appointed someone from the RNC.

DemocRATS. We have the same thing going on in Anchorage, which is now suffering under DemocRAT oppression. The Little Corporal mayor is also dragging his heels there.
