by @thorbenson in @RawStory:

"Republicans in the Texas legislature recently passed two bills that will affect how elections will be run in the state’s largest county, Harris County — a Houston-centered Democratic stronghold. The first bill gets rid of Harris County’s elections administrator entirely, and the second allows the state’s Republican secretary of state to directly oversee elections in the county. These moves have been referred to as a Republican 'power grab' by Democrats in the state."

This program is a good idea. However, I would argue that it's not "UBI" as they claim. It specifically targets low-income families, which is perfectly sensible. True UBI, which would be paid to everyone, is more problematic. Universality is thought to make the program easier to sell politically. But paying money to those who don't need it tends to create asset price inflation. thetexan.news/harris-county-to

Texas GOP Passes Bills Allowing Abbott Appointee to Take Over Democratic County's Elections. "These bills are not about election reform," said one Harris County official. "They are entirely about suppressing voters' voices."

would eliminate the election administrator position — an appointed position that handles election admin on behalf of county gov — in counties w/ a population of 3.5M or more. ’s is only county in state with this many people. Instead, duties would return to elected county clerk and the county tax assessor, depriving Harris County residents of ability to choose how 2 run their elections, a right given 2 every other county in state.

Texas has passed a bill that would give Republican Secretary of State Jane Nelson the power to overturn elections in the state's largest county--which is Harris County/Houston. tinyl.io/8V1f

Lina Hidalgo "could be the most powerful Democrat you’ve never heard of: a young, recently reelected leader overseeing a multibillion-dollar county budget in the country’s second-most populous state. And she doesn’t have the luxury of cold-shouldering her GOP colleagues. 'My focus is on standing up for areas that are never going to vote for me, because I may not be able to change their minds, but I do represent them.'”

The Texas GOP has introduced bills designed to overturn elections in the state's largest blue county. The law states that new elections can be ordered if the Republican Secretary of State "has good cause." Oh joy, oh joy.

@RememberUsAlways @AP I live in funnily enough. Honestly, this is a joke. There are so many investigations that are going on into so many leaks or these “boil water notices.” Someone or something will be responsible for that crap leaking into somethin’ else & intern, make a lot of people sick(er). No one trusts these puppets in charge of this sad city. It’s always a “well we didn’t know “ or the finger pointing game. needs to wake up!
