Why even bother getting out of the house to vote. Save
millions of dollars, not bothering to print ballots, etc.
Even the dim witted republicans will get upset with that
nonsense, not being able to vote and being counted. Is
Texas wanting another Civil war amongst its own citizens?

I have many friends in Texas. I shared this link to the article on my Facebook timeline page asking this question...To my friends in Texas. Is this what you want? If not, make your voices of opposition known!
