More Republicans worried about protecting the sanctity of our elections.

Two top officials at the Department of Public Safety named Gov. Greg Abbott’s office as a driving force in the state’s program to purge nearly 100,000 suspected non-U.S. citizens from Texas’ voter rolls, emails made public Tuesday show.

Abbott’s office, however, on Tuesday denied it had any contact with the agency before the launch of the effort in late January.

The voter purge was scrapped in April after the state settled lawsuits challenging it, and after Secretary of State officials publicly admitted that tens of thousands of naturalized citizens had been wrongly flagged for removal from voter rolls.

For background, a federal judge had to halt this voter purge, to the outrage of the Texas AG, because almost none of the names on the list were actually noncitizens.

winning fair elections is hard and getting harder for the GOP so expect far more of this
they were able to get the moron brian kemp in office with it and he is about to lose a big chunk of the film industry that has been driving the georgia economy these past few years.

at least deal was smart enough to put a muzzle on the idiot fundie wing of the party from time to time.
