Governor Abbott Has Set Tuesday, July 14, 2020, as the New Runoff Election Date for the Democratic and Republican Primaries...

This coronavirus is something serious...for sure! Yes, we should all be concerned about our safety. Yes, this pandemic should be taken seriously by all Americans. So, to this end, I am in total agreement with Governor Greg Abbott pushing the election back from Tuesday, May 26, 2020, to Tuesday, July 14, 2020. In my opinion, this at least gives us a little more time to address the concerns people have about their safety in the midst of these troubling times. However, I also want you guys to know those darn "MAIL BALLOTS" are the easiest way for rogue candidates and criminal enterprises (experienced at mail-ballot harvesting) to steal elections and remain in power or seize the power they are seeking. In fact, I recently ran across an article published by the National Election Defense Coalition that stated, "Many popular vote-by-mail and absentee systems are ripe for fraud and abuse." I can't say that I disagree! In fact, the article went on to state that a lack of transparency, lack of security, opportunities for voter intimidation, and high levels of ballot mishandling are some of the reasons to limit these voting systems to serve only those who absolutely require them. A quote by the New York Times kinda sums it up best, "Votes cast by mail are less likely to be counted, more likely to be compromised and more likely to be contested than those cast in a voting booth, statistics show," the quote stated. So, I don't know at this time, whether we want to have more folks casting their ballot by absentee ballot. Besides, in Harris County, Republicans have a much stronger "ABSENTEE BALLOT GAME" than the Democrats do. I know that the major reason Democrats filed the lawsuit was for safety reasons, but Democratic Party Chairman Gilberto Hinojosa and other elected officials calling for "EXPANDED ABSENTEE-BALLOT" voting had better be careful in my opinion. Why? For one reason, Tuesday, November 4, 2008, was a very good day for Democrats here in Harris County, Texas. However, when the "DEMOCRATIC TICKET" featuring Barack Obama/Joe Biden faced off against the "REPUBLICAN TICKET" featuring John McCain/Sarah Palin in the "ABSENTEE BALLOT PHASE OF THE GAME" it was the Republicans who won that phase in Harris County, Texas. Hey, the number don't lie, John McCain/Sarah Palin (the Republicans) received 41,986 votes by "ABSENTEE BALLOT" back in 2008. Comparatively speaking, Barack Obama/Joe Biden (the Democrats) only received 24,503 votes by "ABSENTEE BALLOT" back in 2008. Since then, Democrats have gotten a lot better at the "ABSENTEE BALLOT GAME" in Harris County, Texas. But without straight-ticket voting being an option this coming November, the battle for Harris County, Texas could get very interesting.
