Counties like LA County (California), King County (Washington) and soon to be Harris County don’t become hell scapes over night. They get there do to weaponized governmental failure, which leads to mass exodus of those who are fed up, and leaving only the financial and political elites, and those who live most of their lives on some sort of government largess. You ultimately are left with places like LA County (they just doubled down on failure!) where the wealthy can protect themselves and everybody else who has to eat scat.

I had employees that went to vote at Morton Ranch High School in Katy, and early morning there was a over a 2 hour wait. They said out of 20 machines there was only 4 machines working. I posted several videos to your twitter of the line at 6:45. It was the most obvious display of voter suppression I have ever seen. I truly believe that if the poll stations worked as they were supposed to, there would be completely different results in Harris County right now. Truly heartbreaking.

Also reading on NextDoor about problems at UHCL near Seabrook…

“Had no paper at UCL either. This was Early on. Two hours later had paper. Also couldn't get there machines out of lock up. Had no key. Had to wait for help to come.

People there early before work left.”

In the case of the issues in this area, this may have had as much to do with the Morman/Garcia race as with the Mealer/Hidalgo race. Takes far fewer suppressed votes to get Garcia over the top.

Seabrook… 3 of 4 nearby locations out of paper by 4p (Seabrook Int, GW Robinson Elementary, El Lago Community Center) More paper requested, arrived at Seabrook Int at 8:13p. Seabrook Int received only 10 booths, normally receives 20. Also only received 600 ballots. Elections judge requested more booths and ballots on Monday at 8a after discovering the shortage after receiving the equipment on Sunday. but did not receive them.

I have screenshots from a pollworker at Sesbrook Int discussing this on NextDoor.

I have been voting in Seabrook for 18 years and never experienced this. I waited an hour. Older folks and those with physical impairments left bc they couldn’t stand in line.
