Bubba and Mary Sue are going to see TAX and vote for anything which reduces and/or prohibits taxes, whether those taxes exist or not. They don't understand that it takes money to run a state. Reduce taxes in one thing raises taxes on another, or else shit doesn't get paid for and services go away. 85 of the top 100 SNAP counties voted for Trump. They sure the fuck didn't think it through what they voted for. This will be the same gotdamned thing.

What gets me is that many of the Props are just performative bullshit to make Bubby and Mary Sue think the leadership is doing something. It'll work.

Are there not still people watching the whole process? This is some next level paranoia, but also this timeline.

Yes we still feed the finished ballot in a tabulation machine like we did before.

Yeah I went and voted a few days after I asked. I made sure to make jokes to all the olds working the place about scantrons and pens.

Of course all the state props passed....fucking morons....

And I mean…not even close.

The lege could present an amendment to require every Texan to eat an actual shit sandwich, and it would win 60-40 with our electorate.

I voted no on most of the props, but it sucks that the props are listed with very little supporting info to help uninformed voters. If you walk in there without doing your homework, it’s hard to know what you are being asked to vote on. I guess that’s probably the point, but still irritating.

I voted for 1 (TSTC), 4 (water fund), 13 (increase homestead exemption), 14 (dementia/Alzheimers research).

I'm guessing all of these pass at rates somewhere between 60% and 85%.

Nailed it

Find someone who loves you the way Texas voters love mashing the yes button on any and all off-cycle propositions.

According to the tribune, all of the props are easily passing. As of 11:30p last night. The lowest performing one had a 58% yes approval.

it should be criminal that props sometimes say one thing but mean so much more.

That’s definitely a feature.

I wonder how many Texans really thought that they were preventing illegal immigrants from voting in future elections with that one prop. I bet quite a few Texans were slightly pissed because they stupidly assume that those same immigrants were probably voting no to the proposition.

The low intelligence of Texans always come out in the referendums.

Prop 12 passing tells you all you need to know about how stupid the average voter is. I did not see one positive endorsement of that proposition and it still passed 60-40.

Many of the propositions are about protecting Texas from future liberal leadership. If Texas seriously starts to flip blue (lol)  but the GOP has one last gasp of power, one can only imagine the 100s of props that would be proposed in that last election.

Right. Most of them are just going to make the state ungovernable if the Democrats ever regain power.

In these hard economic times; Prop 13 was welcome.

Well it is a double edged sword. If it starves the school districts of funds we will have to increase property taxes to make up for it. So in the long run it might not help us at all.

But we will see.

A lot of these are meh in the big scheme of things, but 12 is pretty bad. It was the only one I was holding on to a shred of hope for. Alas. Like y'all were saying though, the text of these is such that you really have to do a fair amount of research to even know WTF you're voting for.

Don't worry. The lege pinky promise swears to make up those billions to public schools.

My favorite part about the bullshit pledge is they only pledged it for next year.

Does TSTC teach anything a community college couldn't realistically teach?

TSTC is a great system that does a lot for the trades and is partnered with industry throughout the state to get their students into the workforce.  Their facilities and labs are far superior than community colleges.
