Theres a reason Republicans took control of the Harris County elections, and it is to manipulate votes, registrations, provisional ballots, and anything else they can think of to protect Cruz. Most major cities in Texas are Democratic, but Harris Country has the largest number of Democratic voters. Doing things like ruling that each county can have only one dropbox for mail ballots means that the rural counties with fewer than 1,000 residents get the same dropbox as an urban county with 3 million or so residents.
Republicans in Texas have turned election cheating into an art form. This election will be even worse.
