Texas “White Privilege” must provide magical voting powers

Pratt on Texas - copyright Pratt on Texas all rights reservedDemocrat absurdity rises ever higher the further one journeys into their alternate universe. Take their latest lawsuit against the State of Texas for ending straight-ticket voting as an example.

I disagree with the move by legislators to end straight-ticket voting but I would never stoop so low to claim, as do Democrats in their lawsuit, that “the elimination of straight-ticket voting is unconstitutional and intentionally discriminatory because the longer lines and waiting times it is expected to cause would be disproportionately felt at polling places that serve Hispanic and black voters,” the Texas Tribune reported.

I guess “White Privilege” also includes a form of magic that allows us white folk to enter a polling place without regard to lines, somehow enter our votes in the machines via mental telepathy, and skedaddle on home all in the blink of an eye.

Any extended voting time resulting from ending straight-ticket voting obviously affects all voters equally!

It should also be noted that straight-ticket voting is actually not available in most states including those run by Democrats so it is truly  novel to claim that ending such in Texas violates the constitutional rights of minority voters.

The escalating absurdity is shown in media coverage of the long primary voting lines experienced in Houston and a few other places.

The Texas Standard, part of the public radio alternate universe, published a story headlined: “Here’s Why It Took So Long For Some Texans To Vote On Super Tuesday.” The subhead was: “Closed polling locations, an end to straight-ticket voting, plus party-specific voting machines all contributed to long waits in some Texas counties.”

Huh? How would one vote a straight-ticket in a party primary?
