the midterm thread is dead, so this is going in here

quote:

During her trial, the woman acknowledged the illegality of her 2012 and 2014 votes in Dallas County, but maintained she never meant to break the law. Her attorney argued some government forms allow applicants to declare permanent residency status, but the voting application in neighboring Tarrant County (to where Ortega subsequently moved) had not such option to check off. Lacking the option, she ticked the "citizen" box.

With that innocent mistake she claims to have made, Ortega's life began to unravel. Exacerbating the rush to convict her was the renewed interest among conservatives to make the fight against voter fraud a top agenda item helping to energize their base, even as numerous studies have shown incidents of voter fraud are statistically negligible and hardly the rampant scourge Republican lawmakers often paint it to be.

So sure she was of eventually being found innocent of nothing more than a simple form-filling mistake, Ortega opted for a jury trial — a point Paxton made in a press release announcing the court of appeals decision to uphold the earlier conviction.

the only candidates who actually have durable support from voters are bernie and biden and that has been the case for at least a year. biden's support is based mostly off of him being more of a third obama term than hillary ever was

beto may or may not be a flash in the pan, who knows. he definitely has 10 times the charisma of warren or any of the other also-rans

Harris to make 2020 decision 'over the holiday'

Sen. Kamala Harris said she will decide whether to run for president during the holiday season — setting the stage for an announcement from one of the Democratic field’s most highly anticipated 2020 contenders as early as the next several weeks.

“It will ultimately be a family decision,” the California lawmaker told MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” co-host Mika Brzezinski during the “Know Your Value” event in San Francisco on Saturday evening.

“And over the holiday,” Harris said, “I will make that decision with my family.”
