(7,947 posts)I mean, he wrote and pushed through the bill in the legislature.
Guess who the FIRST person convicted of violating that law?
HIM.
He left his wife to go to live with a girlfriend, and went back and voted in his old precinct.
I wonder if the GOPers think that everyone wants to commit fraud because they do-- like that Les McCrae in NC who stole absentee ballots to help the GOP candidate.

(43,485 posts)even if very few do it, Trump is completely undermining confidence in the result (he will claim ALL the double votes are from us Democratic voters, you KNOW he will)
I cannot stress how ruinous this can become
and it is being done out in the open, in front of the entire nation

(145,489 posts)I was in the voter protection war room and an election judge called me and asked if trying to vote twice was against the law. A trump supporter insisted that he had the right to vote twice. We had a room full of lawyers and fed the election judge with the provision of the Texas Election Code that made it a crime to vote twice. This idiot was arrested and this arrest made the Washington Post https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2016/12/01/0-000002-percent-of-all-the-ballots-cast-in-the-2016-election-were-fraudulent/

(9,500 posts)Is right-wing snowbirds voting twice in their state or origin and then again in FL/AZ. In these cases, the person has a residence/address in both states and you would only catch them if you compared the voting lists.

So Ole Bruce is a dandy Republican who loves God and hates government.
Recognizing that rights come from God, not government, and that it should be a servant, not a master, are foundational principles under attack today.
Let me tell you about Bruces foundational principles.
In 2006, 2008, and 2010, Bruce voted in person in Fort Bend County and by mail in Pennsylvania in the same general elections. According to his financial disclosure forms, Bruce Fleming also owns a house in Pennsylvania. (He homesteaded a house in Texas and a house in Pennsylvania, but that illegality is a whole nother story.) Bruce felt that owning houses in both states gave him the right to vote in the same elections in both states. Thats a third degree felony in Texas
This asshole lost the race for commissioner's court

(11,949 posts)A true believer that power has to stay in the hands of Christians and the government has an obligation to enforce Christian beliefs. A believer that if democracy threatens that goal then democracy itself is a threat.
If he is ever tried for crimes he will happily be a Martyr and admit it.
All you have to do is read his past writings and speeches to realize this fact.

(25,879 posts)A decade or so ago I was a paralegal. One of the things that was drilled into us in paralegal school (actually an excellent program at Johnson County Community College in Johnson County, KS) was that we were NOT attorneys, and even though we could talk to people about various things, we needed to state up front, and repeat if necessary, that we were not attorneys and nothing we said could be construed as legal advice.
However, I feel now as if I actually have a better grasp of the law than William Barr. I'd make at least as good an Attorney General as he does.

All these slime buckets belong in jail!
