1. Pretty soon...

People are going to rise up and rebel, texas ain't florida.

[FakeNoose]

2. Hah! That's a good way to really piss off the voters

When will the citizens & voters of Texas wise up?

[TeamProg]

3. Oooo, that's gonna hurt TX leadership. Aw, too bad!

[Salviati]

4. 600,000 Texans stripped of voter ID before 2024 election.

7. Poll tax

10 months until the election so there's time for people to pay their fines and get their licenses back.

5. That's roughly 2% of the state's population

The percentage of those losing their licenses is probably higher because many of the state's 29.53 million citizens don't drive or have a license.

I live in New York City and have to deal with draconian parking regulations. Perhaps the NYPD should implement a similar course of action.

6. man - that is a whole bunch of people not paying their fines ...

I suppose there (eventually) has to be some kind of punitive sanction ...

be interesting to see a breakdown on what the unpaid infractions mostly involve .. (expired or no tags ?)

8. Are Texans going to vote for change?

gives Dems a chance to fix some problems in that state, winterize their power grid, make sure people can vote, etc.

9. here's what i'm wondering...

does texas crack down like this on non presidential voting years or just this time, just this year

10. Liberals tend to be ethical and pay their fines.

This could backfire badly

11. What percentage of those drivers

now won't be able to drive to and from work? What percentage of those drivers will lose their jobs? And what percentage of those drivers won't give a shit and will still vote for republicans because the most important thing is owning those libs!?
