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.
