And it was innovative Voting Options like overnight polling locations that helped the county break an alltime Voter Turnout Record during the 2020 election. Because of that, republicans are pushing new restrictions with the bogus argument of fighting Voter Fraud and trumps Big Lie will be reverberated again when trump speaks at Cpac Tomorrow in dallas. He and texas attorney Ken Paxton are due on stage tomorrow, both of whole have been touting lies about the Election Trump lost fair and square. But getting trumps supporters to face that fact, still appearing near impossible. Attendants handed out fliers outlining a Seventhpoint Plan to reinstate trump without an election.
