(15,325 posts)7. The Tx Repubs dug in to voter suppression back when that bug spray guy was part of the corrupt crew
What was his name?
From Houston area I think.

Is that who you are referring to. Bug Boy DeLay.
Budi
(15,325 posts)9. Ugh! Yes that guy. He ran the gerrymandering dept of the Tx GOP.
Geez we've been fighting these fkers a long time

(15,944 posts)11. Yep, and our base rarely votes
But we will be turning out in record numbers this year.
Even with corrupt Paxton heading up the lawyers for trump campaign. I would say that should be illegal since he is the AG of Texas, not beholden just to his party.
But hey, they are who they are!
