NOTE: SCOTUS denied DOJ's application about the California election without even asking for us to respond. And it was referred to the full Court. Not a single Justice noted a dissent. This is unprecedented. DOJ is now being treated like Sidney Powell and Rudy Giuliani.

🚨BREAKING: A Texas county Republican Party is asking a federal court to stop certification of the state’s upcoming election results unless officials first hand count every paper ballot in the state. democracydocket.com/news-ale…
Texas county Republicans sue to block election certification unless every ballot is hand counted

Texas county Republicans sue to block election certification unless every ballot is hand counted

The extraordinary request rests on speculative claims about artificial intelligence, foreign-made voting machine components and the possibility of undetected hacking.

The thing they said doesn't happen is happening again. There is a minimum of 20,000 noncitizens on California voter rolls. Pass the SAVE AMERICA ACT and secure our elections.

"No one was held accountable" actually Texas Republicans literally abolished Harris County's elections office
scott presler tweet "Texas is going to have record-breaking turnout on Election Day. You should all be calling your county elections offices to ensure that they WON’T run out of paper ballots on Election Day. Harris County, TX, did have this problem in 2022 & no one was held accountable. They need to be warned prior to Election Day — not during or after."

With Ken Paxton trailing in polls, legal experts warn he has powerful tools as TX attorney general to interfere in his own Senate election - and he’s proven he's willing to use them. But they also have confidence in courts to protect the vote. More here: democracydocket.com/news-ale…
Why top Texas election denier Ken Paxton could cause chaos if he loses his Senate race

Why top Texas election denier Ken Paxton could cause chaos if he loses his Senate race

Ken Paxton has election interference tools and he’s proven his willingness to use them. But legal experts are confident that courts are up to the task of protecting the will of the voters.
