Quote:The U.S. Justice Department announced today that it has filed a lawsuit against the State of Texas and the Texas Secretary of State over new voting procedures imposed by Texas Senate Bill 1, which was signed into law in September 2021.

“Our democracy depends on the right of eligible voters to cast a ballot and to have that ballot counted,” said Attorney General Merrick B. Garland. “The Justice Department will continue to use all the authorities at its disposal to protect this fundamental pillar of our society.”

“The Civil Rights Division is committed to protecting the fundamental right to vote for all Americans,” said Assistant Attorney General Kristen Clarke for the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division. “Laws that impair eligible citizens’ access to the ballot box have no place in our democracy. Texas Senate Bill 1’s restrictions on voter assistance at the polls and on which absentee ballots cast by eligible voters can be accepted by election officials are unlawful and indefensible.”

The United States’ complaint challenges provisions of Senate Bill 1 under Section 208 of the Voting Rights Act and Section 101 of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

The United States’ complaint alleges that Senate Bill 1 violates Section 208 of the Voting Rights Act by “improperly restricting what assistance in the polling booth voters who have a disability or are unable to read or write can receive.” The complaint also alleges that Senate Bill 1 harms those voters by “barring their assistors from providing necessary help, including answering basic questions, responding to requests to clarify ballot translations or confirming that voters with visual impairments have marked a ballot as intended.”

The complaint also contends that Senate Bill 1 violates Section 101 of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 by “requiring rejection of mail ballots and mail ballot request forms because of certain paperwork errors or omissions that are not material to establishing a voter’s eligibility to cast a ballot.”

The complaint asks the court to prohibit Texas from enforcing these requirements.

So WHY did the MLB allow the World Series to be played in the RACIST states of GA and TX. Seems like it should have been in CA and WA or NY and MA regardless of the teams. Those states really know how to get rid of racists.

I'm moving to Texas when SHTF.

So the administration is suing Texas because Texas has made it impossible to cheat in Texas elections.
We’ll see you grifting SOB’s in court.

We're not so bad in most parts of Florida, either. We're not all snowbirds and Yankee transplants.

I’ve got a cabin in the Mountains of East Kentucky.

I can walk there in a week if necessary. I’ve got a well, a garden, solar panels on the roof and smoke for my pipe. I can hunt, fish and snare. I’ll eat better there than I do at home now.

Let them come. There are stories in my family about what happened/ happens to revenuers who come poking around where they didn’t below. I know where a mineshaft or two are.

The other day I was showing a couple of new weapons to a friend and we were talking about the SHTF. They said “I hope you never have to use them.” I said I hope I do.
