Well, it’s not precisely theft, but it was rigged so that voters, mainly Democratic voters, were perched from the voter’s list or not allowed on the list. When I read the article quoted below, it reminded me that Paul Bettencourt, who used to be a Harris County Tax assessor, was very good at doing that.
Just one of the things that Paul Bettencourt was sued for by the Democratic Party:
Harris County’s voter registrar’s office and the Texas Democratic Party announced Friday that they have reached a settlement in a lawsuit that originally accused former county Tax Assessor-Collector Paul Bettencourt of illegally blocking the registration of thousands of voters. Source
The most extraordinary undertaking of the whole tragic cycle came on Nov. 17, 2020. That’s when the most powerful man in the world, joined by the leader of his party’s committee, reached down to two low-level officials on the Wayne County Board of Canvassers and tried to pressure them to halt democracy in its tracks.
That action failed—but only by a whisker—and it’s completely unclear what would have happened had Trump succeeded in preventing the certification of votes in the county encompassing Detroit. What’s clear is that Republicans recognized county-level officials as representing a weakness in the election process—one that could be weaponized more easily and effectively than anything at the state or federal level.
Over the past four years, Republicans have set out to consolidate their control over these low-level positions, populating these roles with Trump loyalists while facing little opposition. Now that they’ve built this democracy-crushing machine, they’re taking it for a test run.
