Texas Appeals Court reinstated Abbot's ballot box removal

It was a 3-judge panel - all Trump appointees. They gave no legal reasoning or evidence for their ruling, they just cited Republican claims of voter fraud.

Our Judiciary is destroyed. That's why Moscow Mitch is putting all these extremists on the courts.

They forced us to stand in line and submit absentee ballots in WI with a ruling by the SCOTUS the night before the April election. We won the election by 10% that we thought we would lose. Many people stood in line until 3:00 am. It sucked, but we prevailed. You can do it.
