Texas GOP voters are getting tripped up by their own party's new voting restrictions
This amuses me. I have been volunteering to work on voter protection efforts since 2004. Vote by mail has historically been a key part of the GOP GOTV efforts in Texas. For example, vote by mail was exempted from the GOP voter id/voter suppression law. Starting in 2012, the Texas party has been pushing hard to get our voters to use vote by mail and in 2018 and 2020, the number of Democratic Vote by mail and GOP vote by mail were basically even. The GOP emphasis on the "Big Lie" and TFG hatred of vote by mail have caused the Texas GOP to make it very difficult to use vote by mail. Many Texas Democrats who can use vote by mail are not doing so due to the new restrictions.
I am amused to see that these restrictions may be hurting the GOP more than Democrats

One rule passed by Republican lawmakers mandates that voters must put either their drivers license number or the last four digits of their Social Security number on the envelope containing their ballot.
This has led to a higher number of rejected ballots: Ballot rejections in 2020 ran about 0.8 percent, but in 2022 they're at 12 percent. The number might seem low, but that's equal to at least 7,000 people in one Texas county.
Republicans had a higher rate of error than Democrats, meaning there are thousands more Republicans in the state whose ballots aren't being counted in the primary election.
I am eligible to use vote by mail but voted in person. I know a good number of other Democrats who are doing the same.

George P. Bush's family name proves to be key obstacle in his race against Ken Paxton for AG
The so-called Bush legacy ends in Texas today. If George P cannot beat a crook like Paxton, then he deserves to be kicked out of politics. The so-called Bush legacy is over

Stuart Varney, the host conducting the interview, was skeptical.
“Sir, I always think of the Bush family as kind of the moderate wing of the Republican Party,” he said. “And now you want to finish Trump’s wall. Is that accurate?”....
Bush’s struggles highlight how politics in Texas have changed. For decades, the Bush family was GOP royalty. Bush’s grandfather, George H.W. Bush, first won office here in the ’60s. His uncle, George W. Bush, was an immensely popular governor. Both presidential Bushes have their libraries in the state.
