Voters have until October 5 to update their registrations and can check their status on the Texas secretary of state’s website, at a county election office, or by mail. But with a number as high as 1.2 million people, the message may not reach many voters in time—especially if they haven’t moved and it’s the fault of a clerical error.

You know what other major political party that suppressed votes to win and went on to commit atrocious crimes against humanity?

    You wouldn't happen to be referring to the one with a leader that Trump's own Education Dept just compared him to, would you?

    That is a terrible comparison.

    Operation Eagle Eye 1964: a suppression operation aimed at restricting minority voters through 'voter caging'. This was enacted by thousands of volunteers mostly at inner city ballots where they tested the literacy of voters as they turned up (literacy being a requirement, though not normally aggressively tested).

    Lyndon B. Johnson still won though.

    Yeah yeah. I know. I liked Bernie, too.

    It's not so much that it was her time as much as it wasn't his. As in, he was ahead of his time. Now after we've experienced Trump a couple of times, Bernie's policies are a lot more palatable.

    We just had to fafo first.
