......and this surely had nothing to do with the announcement of door-to-door ICE operations. In Texas. A state that has a 40% Hispanic population.

40% Hispanic population... for now.
Some of those Hispanics trace back before Texas existed, for extra irony. White people came over to steal land and run slave trades and got mad when the natives decided to stop that shit, so Texas became a thing. Then they hitched their horses to the confederacy and never looked back.
Wildly enough, a decent amount of those Hispanic voters voted for trump.
Now the federal government has a list of everyone who votes. And people still think the elections are going to be fair? With that information they can manufacture any votes they want.
Does it include who someone voted for.
It shouldn't.
The only thing that will be there is what party one is affiliated with.
Who you actually vote for?
That is stil secret, though I'm not in Texas (thank God..) but I make it VERY plain that I vote almost exclusively against the party I am registered with.
I am registered as a Republican. It's a fantastic way to get their party propaganda and the inside info on their candidates at the state level.. who actually offer ZERO to the public.
I've been voting straight Democratic ticket for years.
I imagine that the leverage point will be to try and invalidate voters such as myself, who do NOT pose a target as determined by party affiliation, but will skew the votes away from the expected tally, thus allowing the GOP to cry that there is voter fraud.
(Yo, morons... there's no fraud. Your candidates just suck so much I choose the opposition instead..)
The MAGA wonks expect everyone that calls themself a Republican is intersted in sucking Trump's cock, because they all do.
It's disgusting how well they seem to like the taste of a kiddy-fucker's dick.
Lest we forget, there's the Epstein files to consider.
Doesn't matter, scotus already said they can fuck with whoever they want based on racial profiling, so, I bet they're gonna harass anyone they feel like from the list with a Hispanic sounding name.
No, but the addresses are there. They can just exise the blue districts if they want. State is already threatening to take over Harris county elections for just this reason.
WA just publishes that for everyone to see. It's wild that they do that.
They don't publish your DOB, birthdate, or DL/SSN though, and WA doesn't keep a party affiliation as part of the voter registration.
With what Texas just shared though, anyone with that database could call and impersonate any voter and change or cancel their registration.
So does Texas actually. But the part that I finally found in this article which is noteworthy is this:
The state included identifiable information about voters, including dates of birth, driver’s license numbers and the last four digits of their Social Security numbers, Pierce said.
So what got sent to the federal government included additional PII not present in the public dataset.
I can excuse murder and pedophilia, but I draw the line at flagrant FEC violations.
