BREAKING: Gov. Andrew Cuomo announces that every New York voter will *automatically* receive a postage-paid application for an absentee ballot!
It's not hard. Every state should be taking action NOW to ensure that Americans can vote during the pandemic.

Something has gone very wrong when the feds find civil rights violations and a culture of discrimination inside a school district.
It is sad that Southlake parents felt they had no other recourse than to call for federal intervention to protect their kids.

Interference in local governance by the State of Texas has peaked. Harris County's intent to use federal funds for poverty relief, not a law enforcement center like Tarrant, deserves applause, not prosecution. This encroachment by Ken Paxton must stop.

Crystal Mason has been through enough, for doing nothing more than not understanding a convoluted policy regarding her basic right to vote.
DA Sorrells should focus on alleviating our jail crowding crisis, rather than becoming the second Tarrant DA humbled by an appeals court.
The District Attorney’s efforts to retry the Crystal Mason case is an attempt to keep Tarrant County in the national news on the disproven issue of widespread voter fraud.

Today got me thinking. Trump remained out of jail during his trial. Those who can post bail stay free, even for felonies. Yet, some are in TC Jail on misdemeanors because they can't afford bail.
Trump is right. The system is rigged, just against the poor.
