You know, this country is really in deeeeeep trouble. Just watching Larry O'Donnell on TX voting

[kelliekat44]

ID. If a white, female, judge, trying to vote in her own courthouse, is practically disenfranchised by the TX ID law...WTF will face other women who are married, divorced, widowed?

[VanillaRhapsody]

1. They will get the same treatment NC gets very shortly...

disenfranchising voters will not stand...

Now that it is white women...even republican ones....you can bet that wont stand.

[bluestate10]

2. NO. We aren't in trouble. What needs to happen is that people who believe in true democracy

must avoid staying home on voting day because officeholders didn't satisfy all of their hot buttons. Recalcitrance often has serious consequences.

5. ++++1,000,000

[Squinch]

3. 3,2,1 till they deny they are waging war on women.

Now they're taking our right to vote.

[elleng]

4. Yup, really f****d.

Think this will get Wendy into the State House???

6. Texas Women Are Just Going To Have To Lean Hard On Their Husbands, Boyfriends And Menfolk Of Texas..

to get out the vote to throw the legislators that are making these laws out. The women have a powerful weapon - just withhold sex from their menfolk until these bums are out of office.

Whats fair is fair. Texas women need to sexually disenfranchise their menfolk.

[Llewlladdwr]

10. What a delightfully misanthropic idea. nt

[Blue_In_AK]

17. I kinda like it.

[Samantha]

18. That is what a lot of women did in the 60s

And those participating were very vocal about it. "I don't date Republicans, much less sleep with them." I know some here criticize that approach, but it seems to work very quickly.

19. Worked for Lysistrata. n/t

7. I talked to one of my friend's who is working early voting.

She said there is something you sign if you voter cert. and your license do not match.

If your birthday and address match you are good to go.


Do not let some election worker tell you that you can not vote.

Early voting should not be a problem, the workers are better trained.

If you have problems talk the democratic judge at early voting, or on election day.

You have the right to vote a regular ballot.

I do not trust a republican precinct judge, I don't.

I read this somewhere else today.

I just hope women don't stay home because of this.

[We People]

11. I hope they'll show up en masse!!

And I wish the progressive pundits could drive home the point that the public is not fooled when they cheat by enacting voter suppression laws.
(BTW, check your last sentence for consistency with the rest of your message)

[texanwitch]

12. I fixed it.

Thanks for heads up.

I fingers and my brain didn't get together on that last sentence.

I am afraid a lot of women will stay home because of this stupid law.

Election day may be fun.

[okaawhatever]

14. That's exactly what they're hoping for. They have given themselves cover by allowing the

certificate exemption, but they are hoping women will stay home because they are unaware. It's shameful.

[texanwitch]

20. It is shameful.

Republicans seem to have no shame.

The Democratic precinct judges will need to be on the job.

We did receive decent election day training.

I was precinct judge for years, but just got burnt out.

It is a tough job.

[pamela]

8. Hell hath no fury...

This could backfire if Texas women get pissed off.

[texanwitch]

9. I hope so.

Don't mess with Texan women.

[Iliyah]

13. Besides most red states which are run by GOPers, voting rights are slowly being taken away

Ya'know, GOPers are seeing their numbers getting smaller (who would have guessed that) and therefore that must suppress the votes inorder to win as well as to continually gerrymander and red re-district, and further although its failing to brainwash . . .

[KT2000]

15. Also - no Sunday voting

Rachel said that African-America churches organize and get people to the polls on Sunday.

[texanwitch]

21. In Harris County, Houston, TX we have Sunday early voting.

The hours are from like 1 to 6 pm.

The early voting crews really need that morning off to get some sleep.

I worked early voting for many years, and sleeping in on Sunday was needed.

Those long hours for 12 days are really tough to do.

I guess Sunday early voting is state wide.

[dem in texas]

16. Texas Gals, remember Greg Abbott was one who pushed this

He is one of those white male repubs who want the "little lady" to stay barefoot and pregnant. This is just another way to take away a woman's right.
