Paxton has already done “dry runs” with the gop in Dallas county yesterday, sort of showing one of their plans for disenfranchising blue voters.

Teleric is going to have an uphill battle because even if he can convince a majority of voters to go out and vote for him, those people actually being allowed to vote, and having their votes counted, is in question.
