It’s been standard practice in Texas politics to make cheating and intimidation easier

Texas is not a democracy, any voting totals there are suspect until hand counted by people being witnessed by others.

And that is not a new thing; ballot stuffing using secret computer voting systems has been a thing for the last 3 decades. And before that, there were many sketchy practices going back since the end of reconstruction.

Anyone, who is familiar with Texas politics, and tried to reform it, knows it stinks on many levels and ways; so much so that it’s hard to pinpoint who cheats how.

Texas is a totally lost cause to reform by normal politics.
