A reminder that both men who have tried to assassinate Donald Trump were Republicans and/or previously voted for him, and Trump himself has inspired at least 56 documented acts of violence in the USA over the last decade. The previous 4 presidents combined inspired 0 acts of violence.
Trump is his own worst enemy because he continues to incite violence, refuses common sense gun safety regulations, expands assault weapons access, and blames everyone else but himself for his own reckless actions.
Looking bad - trying to manipulate votes
Only one of several bills: Senate 1750 would eliminate the elections administrator position only in Harris County

@theothersimo @froomkin Did the bill originally say counties with population of 2.7m and then was amended?
While the text of the legislation does not explicitly mention Harris County, the authority it would vest in the Secretary of State applies only to counties with populations higher than 2.7 million. Harris is the largest county in Texas, with nearly 4.7 million

Better argument. Is there a record of debate on the bill?
? Applies to counties with a population of more than 1 million .
This change would provide for a new election if there were more voters than expected and ballots were not available to accomodate them in the specified time. Correct? Election Code 51.008
Not a fan of Abbott, but still, how is this weaponizing?
• election officials response? Make sure enough ballots are on hand or in the pipeline.
