Yeah, I am well aware of this. I wish we were seeing more articles on it by the press, but since most of the Texas Press is red owned, it won't come out. I will say that combined with Covid, all these new regulations on voting (mainly unfunded) and redistricting, the life of the county clerk or election administrator is getting considerably less enjoyable. The Secretary of State has had it's own issues dealing with all this, firstly trying to correctly translate SB1 and get that intent into workable solid rules and regulations. Then the EAs have had to wait to get their houses in order due to the delays coming out of Austin. Plus the Lege didn't increase the funding for elections at all to compensate for the new requirements like state wide ballot tracking for VBM. No telling how many good EA's the state will lose over all this this year.
A) get ready for lots of MAGA stuff, because Trump isn't on the ballot this time, and since MAGA is associated with his campaign, it has now turned into general messaging, like BLM. B) It would be nice to have a 2 mile barrier around the polling places, but it's only 100 feet. Dan Crenshaw has his goons out in full force last ED at NRG and other places in Houston. Not much the election judges can do about that outside that 100 ft boundary.
