After years of claiming mail-in voting is rife
with fraud, some Republicans – including former
President Donald Trump – are working to reverse
course ahead of next year’s consequential
presidential and congressional elections.

In a victory for the extremist wing of the
Republican Party, it looks like Donald Trump’s
hand-picked leadership team at the Republican
National Committee has officially scrapped the
GOP’s plan to encourage early voting this
election cycle. Instead, the party is taking
steps to prioritize legal challenges to voting
systems ahead of November.
As part of the layoffs and budget cuts carried
out this week by the newly installed leadership
team, they are shuttering a program dedicated
to mail-in voting, according to The Washington
Post.

FRAUD!! and let right-wing judges rule in our favor in the end
anyway?"

those who cast the votes, they are
determined by those who COUNT the
votes" - Joseph Stalin.
Small wonder Trumpists have
been taking over election boards
and county clerks offices with
a vengence since 2020. They will
certify the Trump votes and only
the Trump votes.

the Sec of State has deemed the

Texas bill allows secretary of
state to overturn elections

I've instructed you on this already. You are misrepresenting it. It does not empower the secretary of state simply to set aside the election result and declare the loser to be the winner. It also very narrowly defines a specific circumstance in which the secretary of state can act under the proposed law *at all. You clearly didn't read your own citation.
Texas lawmakers advanced a bill this week that would allow the secretary of
state, who is handpicked by the governor, to overturn the results of an
election in the state’s largest county and order a new one.
The bill targets Harris County, the largest in the state and the third-
largest in the U.S., which includes Houston and has a population of around
4.7 million. It would allow the secretary of state, currently Republican Jane
Nelson, to order a new election in the county if 2 percent or more of the
polling locations ran out of ballot paper for more than an hour.
That's a very precisely defined circumstance, although one can easily foresee that Republiscums/QAnon would *cause* voting locations to run out of paper ballots.
But the implication of what you said is false. You're as bad as Katie Britt. You're suggesting something that simply is not so: that the proposed law would allow the secretary of state not only to discard the election result, but also arbitrarily to pick the election winner.
