It doesn’t matter here, the changed the voting laws. We’ve used mail in ballots only since the late 90’s early 2000’s and in that time it mysteriously got bluer and bluer and then districts redrawn by a few blocks so an incumbent in an R district suddenly lost by 50-100 votes. Now the new laws are in effect instead of having to receive the ballot by 8pm on election night as long as it’s postmarked and arrives within 10 days it will be counted. No way to commit fraud with this new system lol. There’s manned drop boxes at ever library, police station or certain store parking lots etc. there’s no reason to even mail a ballot and if you can’t get your ass to the post office which also has ballot drop boxes by before election night then your ballot shouldn’t count. The last part doesn’t even make sense, the only way you’d use the mail service is if you mailed it from your mailbox otherwise the post office had ballot drop boxes that go immediately to the election office. I’m sure this year we’ll have a record amount of ballots that were actually mailed. We only have two measures on the ballot this year. One for gun control which they don’t know if it will pass since were a weird blue state when it comes to guns. And one for legislators that walkout of session. They won’t be able to run for re-election. Never mind Texas democrats do it and it’s praised the few R’s do it here and it’s the end of democracy. Anyway of course they lied about the gun control bill when people were signing it. If the election is honest it won’t pass, even liberals love their guns here. First you’ll have to take a firearm safety class and show proficiency, pass a background check then you can buy all the guns you want without undergoing any other checks for 5 years. Sorry that’s not hot it works, the feds still require a background check for each purchase and what’s to say within those five years I become a felon? Second I do t need a class on free speech, to go to church or become a reporter, to take the fifth, to vote etc. shall not be infringed doesn’t require a class. Third: they claimed you could keep your current high capacity magazines and still use them with no repercussions, just no new ones. False, you may keep them on your property, can you use them for self defense on your property I don’t believe so. The only place they can be used legally is at gun ranges or target practice at both public and private ranges. Fourth: from a reliable inside source when the state tried to do this a few years ago the liberals went crazy and wrote to their local representatives and said “I always vote progressive but if you pass any legislation barring me from owning certain weapons or magazines, I’ll vote R out of spite” So the legislators don’t touch this issue any longer. But a **rabbi** and two other ministers suddenly started “the interfaith coalition on gun violence” and after 6 years got enough signatures for this one piece of legislation. Their other piece that can’t get signatures for would ban every current and future semi auto amongst other things. Basically a total gun ban.
