This is some extremely fascist stuff. Texas is continuing its effort to strip its Democratic cities of any power whatsoever.

Democracy Docket:

NEW: #Texas Senate passes #SB1933 on a party line vote, a bill that would empower the governor-appointed secretary of state to take over election oversight from local county officials. The bill now goes to the Texas House. https://www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/texas-senate-passes-bill-to-seize-control-of-elections-from-local-authorities/

When inevitably the Republican wins the next major election in Texas, the Democrats should just go ahead and beat them with their own stick. Challenge every election and refuse to concede close loses. They’ve been fucking around, it’s about time they find out.

@jeber @DemocracyMattersALot @GottaLaff I dunno. This tactic runs the risk of validating the RW’s claims that U.S. elections *in general* are rigged and untrustworthy and seems at best unlikely to produce any tangible successes. Can you explain how you think this would actually help anything? I don’t see it.
