Surprising restraint from Paxton. I half expected him to just pick everyone with a “Mexican sounding” name then assume they’re illegal.
They must be panicking because they’ve found so few instances of illegal immigrants voting that even their delusional supporters won’t buy it. If they had found a couple thousand they could probably spin it as “these are the ones we found, there’s probably tens of thousands we haven’t!”, but I bet they’ve only been able to find less than a hundred so now they’re looking for a scapegoat to blame their failure on.
They’re just in the phase of making bullshit requests and lawsuits without evidence so they can rile up the base about Biden being a party to voter fraud.
They won’t be panicking. They made up the lie that non citizens are voting, they know it’s not true.
They fail to realize the calls are coming from inside their house
I can’t imagine why an illegal immigrant would want to vote. The whole thing is ludicrous.
it just endangers them to be found. it’s ridiculous. illegals want to lay low. they are not the trouble makers right wingers paint them to be
They also pay taxes without receiving benefits.
“No taxation without representation” exception list (updated 2024):
- Non-Citizen Residents
- Ex-Cons

You should add residents of Washington DC to your list
Do our territories pay tax? It looks like they do… and they definitely have no representation (non-voting delegates, non-autonomy, the only thing they get is the ability to raise issues and vote on committees, and frankly that’s nothing.)
Right? Like, that’s your thing right? Stealing money from people? How does this part not excite you? Do you even realize that this is happening?
I’ll bet they can’t find one illegally cast vote that was counted. People talk like it’s really uncommon. No, it’s so uncommon it never happens. I read some research that was done over a ten year period and they found less that 40 cases of vote fraud, almost none of which were for national office, and none of which had ever affected an outcome.
Vote fraud in the US it’s effectively zero.
with all this projection, some one should check Ted Cruz’s immigration status.
Just saying. maybe we can deport him back to Canada.
maybe we can deport him back to Canada.
Nope, fuck that, shoot him into the sun, we’ve got enough rightwing nutjobs in Canada.
Strand him in an airport. Never to be released into either country. Always waiting for a flight to Cancun that keeps getting delayed forever.
I like this.
Aww, don’t you think PP needs a friend?
Seriously, we don’t want him back. Totally agree, “One of these days Teddy, one of these days.To the sun.”
I think we should pull a Simpsons and load both of em and all their little intolerant friends on a rocket and straight into the sun with em!
You sure? We could make it an “art” exhibit if we sent him there directly from Texas. We could even make it a symbol of peace like the statue of Liberty. Call it “the big splat” or something.
Alright, if you can get a trebuchet built strong enough to fire him at least to the border from Texas, you may send him back…but only by trebuchet
The Trebuchet of Yeet.
Texas needs to be sued for being Texas.
(my bold)
The lawsuit escalates Paxton’s hunt for noncitizen voters just two weeks before the election and a day after early voting began in Texas. He has pressed Texas Secretary of State Janet Nelson to request that the federal government hand over data the state could use to cross-check its voter rolls.
His timing is impeccable.
Paxton is a criminal and belongs in jail.
Name a single Texas state government official that isnt/doesn’t.
His timing is impeccable.
You misspelled impeachable.
Fuck Texas.
