Good news: people in Texas are registering to vote. 🗳 🤠 Bad news: the Republicans are not processing them. An "unidentified problem" created a massive backlog in tens of thousands of registrations. In one county, 45,000 registrations have been backlogged. Hopeful. But suspicious. ☹️
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) -- County election offices throughout Texas are scrambling to process a massive backlog of voter registration applications stemming from an error at the state level, a headache that is hitting just as they are preparing for voting to begin in the midterm elections
The problem, which officials in the
Republican-controlled state have not publicly defined. This also could have disenfranchised people who wanted to vote in the state's March primary but whose registration applications were never processed, local election officials said during a news conference Wednesday
'This is really out of left field. Knowing that this one element of (state) applications didn't come through, and we had no insight on it," said Chris McGinn, executive director of the Texas Association of County Election Officials
The size of the backlog statewide hasn't been determined. but the association said it is in the tens of thousands for some of the state's most populous counties. In Bexar County, which includes San Antonio, the election office received about 45,000 backlogged voter registratior applications.

This is the way: “ABC, CBS, CNN, Fox News, and NBC News take turns providing the television coverage of the president, and CNN was supposed to be in charge of the TV pool today. With CNN banned, the other networks refused to take its place, leaving television coverage of Trump suspended.” -HCR
