The election code dictates that if you must order a special election to be placed on the general election ballot, you must do so by the 78th day before the election.
For the November 3 election, that was Monday August 17th.
The Governor ordered the special election for State Senate District 22 at 3pm on Tuesday August 18th.
This is in violation of the election code.
The Governor ordered the special election for State House District 93 at 12pm on Thursday August 20th.
This is in violation of the election code.
The Governor didn't post the HD93 order to his website or inform the county of the ordered election.
This is in violation of the election code.
The county received the order TODAY at 11:32am.
So, in this instance, Judge O'Hare is not to blame. My information I received yesterday was incorrect.
But the question for Republicans is:
Your Governor is either incompetent or malicious. Or both.
Which do you prefer?
For those just catching up: Tarrant County Judge Tim O'Hare has been grifting off racism since he was mayor of Farmers Branch in Dallas County 20 years ago. He self-deported to Tarrant County to continue the grift & Republicans are nervous voters are about to show him the door.
Judge O’Hare just cleared the room and had former House Rep. Lon Burnham arrested during public testimony against the Tarrant County’s latest attempt at voter suppression.
Texans have a right to be heard. We must preserve the right to vote. #AllEyesOnTarrant
Teachers are the backbone of our public schools.
Public schools are the backbone of Texas' future.
Texas should be doing everything we can to support teachers — not giving them more reasons to leave.
Can’t believe I have to say this but if you are actually condemning the Rangers for using Hispanic influence in these jersey designs then you are a massive piece of shit and need to unfollow me immediately.
Hispanic culture is extremely important in this state so fuck off, racist pricks 🖕🏻 😃
@DeAngelisCorey@UNTsocial As a UNT alum, I’m proud to keep DEI in our university. Crazy to see so many non-Texans and non-mean green alum shoving their nose where it doesn’t belong. @UNTsocial keep this professor teaching our young minds. Don’t let authoritarianism and blatant racism dictate our community
