The GOP would probably love to restrict voting just to white people over 55 who wear MAGA caps and attend Christian fundamentalist churches.

A Texas GOP state legislator wishes to ban public colleges and universities from serving as polling places. It just so happens that a large public university exists in her legislative district. 🤨

Republican Rep. Carrie Isaac recently introduced a bill which would ban polling locations at public universities.

This would make it more difficult for students to vote.

Isaac represents Hays County just south of Austin, where Texas State University is located.

While her bill would make it more difficult for college students to vote, Texas A&M Kingsville Associate Professor of political science Travis Braidwood said college campuses tend to have a lot of people live near them who aren't students.

"Potentially shutting them down anyway could also deprive other voters access to those voting places," he said. "It's really unfortunate. If anything, you want to expand the franchise of voting, not restrict it."  

3NEWS received recent voting statistics from the Nueces County Clerk's Office that gave an account of the number of voters at area universities.

Last November, 2,364 people voted at Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi while 3,204 voted at Del Mar College.

"So really, this raises the other question, if it isn't voter fraud, is this an attempt to suppress certain voters, particularly young voters?" Braidwood said.

Yep, it’s pretty blatant. Private universities (especially Christian ones) would not be covered by Rep. Isaac’s bill.

Assistant Professor of political science for TAMU-CC Sanne Rikhoff said that colleges have long been at the center of discussion when it comes to polling locations.

Rikhoff said counties normally have the deciding say in where polling locations are placed.

"The counties are ultimately the ones who decide where polling places will be in an election. And most often they choose public places with good parking, availability. And also a space in which these elections can take place throughout early voting and election days," she said.

BTW, are you registered to vote?

Voter registration is done by address. Every time you move you must register. Even if you just move down the street you must amend your voter registration.

I can think that watching the Richmond team playing dirty on pitch was fundamentally upsetting and a clear display of toxic masculinity and that it’s hilarious as fuck that the two smallest players on the team (Bumbercatch and Richard) got red carded for violent play, ok; it’s called multitasking

The Way My Mind Works...

My co-worker Leia was complaining about how short she was the other day and I told her she was just like her namesake. Carrie Fisher was only 5'1".

So, I was thinking about that conversation tonight and how small Carrie was and how, as short as he is, Oscar looked tall next to her, which made me think of one of my favorite pictures of them from The Last Jedi, and how he looks in that picture, and suddenly I was really turned on.

Oscar Isaac, you have ruined me.
