In December, Texas Secretary of State Jane Nelson struck a deal with the U.S. Department of Justice to hand over the names, addresses and social security numbers of almost all of the 18.6 million Texans registered to vote.

The administration said it needed the data "to test, analyze, and assess states’ (voter rolls) for proper list maintenance and compliance with federal law," and sent similar requests to an estimated 43 other states around the country. It's now suing 24 states, including California, Minnesota and New York, that have refused to comply.

After the blowout D+14 in a state senate election that had gone Trump+17 just last year, I'm not surprised to see the Texas GOP once again scrambling to put its fingers on the scale.

Kinda wonder what elections in Houston, Dallas, Austin, and El Paso are even going to look like by the time the GOP is done purging voter rolls.

To “cleanse” it, as it were. Racially.
