🍟

GOP lawyers have filed three times as many suits challenging election practices in “battleground” states as they did by this time in 2020. One problem, though.
The one thing they need in court is evidence,” Cobb explained. “They didn’t have any last time, and they’re unlikely to have any this time.” 
The Times report adds, "Election experts, including some Republicans, say a vast majority of the cases are destined to fail, either because they were filed too late or because they are based on unfounded, or outright false, claims."
And Ken Paxton’s attempts to attack voter outreach groups has run into a roadblock: The judge ruled the new Texas law Paxton has been using is “unconstitutionally vague” and restrictive of free speech. Which frees up a lot of private groups to register voters and help them exercise their franchise. Something Paxton and the Lege didn’t want non-white voters to do. Yes, Hispanics in Texas are trending Republican, but you can’t be too careful.

Now we can go back to worrying about post-election violence. Which I don’t think a non-incumbent Trump will have the ability to drum up. Nor the organizational skills, or even interest, to do so, based on recent public appearances. I mean, face it, the man’s a full pack of French fries short of a Happy Meal. 🍽️
