Shit like this – where it’s clearly OK, as long as it’s white people and/or Republicans doing it – makes it so crystal clear that “Law and Order” means “keep the darkies under control.”
I mean – to steal a phrase from GOP supporters on this board – where is the condemnation for this lawless violence from President Trump and Republican leaders?
IOKWARDI
More Texas shit.

A federal judge on Monday will hear a complaint brought by Texas conservatives that challenges Harris County’s use of curbside drive-thru voting, according to the judge’s schedule and court records.
Houston conservative activist Steven Hotze and three Republicans — state Rep. Steve Toth, Wendell Champion, a candidate for Congress, and Sharon Hemphill, who is running for a judgeship — are seeking an injunction requiring all memory cards from 10 drive-thru voting locations be secured and not entered or downloaded into the tally machine until the court issues a ruling on the complaint.
The plaintiffs allege that curbside drive-thru voting runs afoul of state and federal election law. They are seeking the rejection of any votes “cast in violation of the Texas Election Code”; an order to make county elections officials review all curbside voting applications and reject those that do not meet parameters set by the code; and a permanent injunction stopping “a universal drive-thru voting scheme” unless it is adopted by the state legislature.
By the time the complaint was filed, 100,000 drive-thru votes had already been cast.
Yes, but consider the three basic tenets of gun handling
Standing on the front porch with your gun in hand is fine. Pointing your gun toward anyone is another matter entirely.
So drive-up voting is somehow unconstitutional.
Not yet – the Pubes are 0-2 on court challenges so far.
And SCOTUS tends to defer to state-level decisions on voting matters, when decisions are available.
That was before this current court.
I am willing to entertain the idea that drive-up voting is unconstitutional. It is - to me - kind of odd, and perhaps it should be challenged.
BUT the time to challenge it was back in July - after the primary (when problems with the vote would have been apparent.) or August. Or even September. Maybe in early 2021 so that if it is questionable, then the mistake isn’t repeated next election cycle. The time is definitely not right now after 100,000+ ballots had already been cast by people who were reasonably and rationally relying on their votes counting and mattering with no way to remedy the situation by Tuesday. That’s just full of shit.
Wait until the blatantly partisan federal judge rules in an emergency hearing he agreed to hold tomorrow morning in federal district court. 
No, even this one. There’s an article posted in Politics and Elections that discusses it. And IIRC, the relevant decisions were 5-3.
If they throw out the drive through votes, will they have to allow all those people to vote again?
I can all but guarantee that by the time this makes it up through all of the various appeals that it will be too late for these voters to vote again.
That’s the goal, after all: disenfranchisement.
The plaintiffs don’t care about the supposed Constitutional issues they have raised—that’s just window dressing.
The county is considering how to contact all of the disenfranchised voters to let them know that they have to vote in person on Tuesday.
When I read about this, my first thought was that if I were one of those poor voters, I’d have dropped everything and gone and voted a provisional ballot on the chance that my original drive-up vote would be invalidated.
But @robby is right. Constitutional issues are beside the point now. With their new majority, the SCOTUS demonstrates a very disturbing willingness to reach down into the affairs of individual states when it suits them to shape elections – which, according to the Constitution, they are supposed to stay the fuck out of. That’s why Bush v. Gore was depublished. Kavanaugh’s willingness to use it as precedent going forward is wrong, wrong, wrong.
Made my last hand-made sign of this election season (I hope):
The yard…
The yard looks mighty fine. Great job!!
