Elections have consequences-Houston has a Mosque and a HBCU as early voting sites

[Gothmog]

One of the key wins in 2018 cycle was the defeat of a tea party asshole named Stan Stannart as the head of elections in Harris County. Stan did his best to suppress the vote of minorities and was racist asshole. We got rid of Stan and now have longer early voting hours, and a voting site at a Mosque

In addition we have early voting sites at the University of Houston and TSU (a HBCU).

1. The lesson here is that the election of a "Head of Elections" can be one of...

...the most important things you vote on that year, because of the effect it can have down the road in subsequent elections. this made me smile too.

2. In 2016, we defeated the Republican in charge of voter registration

A lady who I had trained as a poll watcher in 2012 defeated the GOP official in charge of voter registration (in Texas this was a the county tax office since Texas used to have a poll tax). Prior to this win, we had to sue every cycle to get sufficient registration forms in the correct language (Harris County has six different languages on the voting machines and voter registration forms for each language) In 2918, we did not have to file any lawsuits and more voters were registered.

Elections has consequences.

3. Would it be wrong of me to hope that having a mosque as a voting location

might lower the turnout of a certain group of voters?

4. My county has at least one Mosque as an election day voting site

I am glad that we have Mosques as voting centers
