"SNIP......

A Texas Republican who tried to void more than 125,000 legally cast ballots in last year’s election has introduced legislation in the state House of Representatives that would force a forensic audit of the 2020 election results in the state’s largest counties.

State Rep. Steve Toth (R) has introduced legislation along with 15 other Republicans that would require Gov. Greg Abbott (R), Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick (R) and state House Speaker Dade Phelan (R) to hire an outside expert to conduct a forensic audit of counties with populations greater than 415,000.

The bill would order an audit of every precinct in those large counties. It would require Texas leaders to submit a report by next year outlining issues with the balloting or counting process.

Among the bill’s co-sponsors are Rep. Briscoe Cain (R), the head of the state House Elections Committee and author of a sweeping overhaul of election rules pending before the state House; state Rep. Tom Oliverson (R), vice chairman of the House Republican Caucus; and Jake Ellzey (R), one of the finalists to replace the late Rep. Ron Wright (R) in the U.S. House of Representatives in a special election to take place next week.

2. As one who still votes in Texas I demand the following

I demand a special yearly intensive audit by the IRS of all Republicans in our state legislature whose partisan vote suppression proposals indicate massive bribes having been paid to them in return for their ridiculous attempts to eliminate the right of Texas Democrats to vote.
