What if 80,000 people unjustly deprived of the right to vote in Texas, rushed the ballot box anyway?

Is there enough space left in Texas's jails to hold them? If they all demand a speedy, jury trial, are there enough judges to handle that?

What would it take to completely overwhelm the system with civil disobedience such that there's just not enough police thugs and judge-thugs available to lock them all up?

6. and there all like 80 years old.

80,000 80 year olds form a chain and rush the ballot boxes barricading polling places. What self respecting cop is going to take out grandma? Imagine the publicity, that would be viral.
