At 76, I lived in Texas my entire life, I'm ashamed of out Republican politics. I'm ashamed of our American justice system, allowing these corrupt judges, attorneys, governors, senators, law- enforcement to not be treated as all criminal should be treated in our Country. Jail them, get them out of office.
I’m 64 and I’ve also lived in Texas my whole life hell I was born here 3rd generation in fact and I agree with you 100%! We need to move forward though because we lose too much if we don’t! I fondly remember when this was a solid if conservative democratic state. We need to take back our home and start turning this state blue!
I live in Texas and before the sorry, evil, greedy Bush family moved here from Connecticut. We had a great governor when they moved here and took over. Ever since Texas has had nothing but republicans which have been doing everything to overturn anything that we need. 😢😢😢😢😢😢
Paxton is suspended. So at least hd can do no direct harm. It’s not looking good for him at all and the best part is it’s the Republicans that threw him out.
The fact that there aren't laws to drag these traitors out of office for these blatantly anti-Constitutional laws is disgusting. They have no right to EVER hold office.
There are laws and then there are laws you and I have to follow. And laws aren’t any good if they aren’t prosecuted. Then when convicted they just appeal until they find a friendly judge.
We just have to apply it. Each level of office can impeah certain ones. Congress can impeach reps and Scotus. Governors can be recalled but I think I read if really a criminal offense then its not impeachment its drag them out of there. Well we did in first 100 years. This "cant charge a sitting president" or sitting anyone is gaslighting!
I lived in Harris County in 2022 and attempted to vote. Afterward, I was told my vote was rejected. After much discussion and challenging what I believed to be erroneous decision-making by a poll worker ( I was registered and had the evidence with me), I was finally allowed to vote. This process took several days and >8 messages. Eventually, the poll worker was overruled. I was not impressed. I also witnessed a poll worker being so rude to a couple in front of me that they decided to leave their (I assume) assigned polling location saying they would try to find another. I told the poll worker I did not like his behavior and he got rude with me to the point where I feared security was going to get involved. That´s the last thing you want in Texas. I made an official complaint against him. No feedback or follow-up. As far as I am concerned nothing was done. Not impressed.
Before you go to far in your complaint, try walking in a poll workers shoes! I used to work the polls until 2020 when every poll worker became an automatic enemy to the MAGAs. The 'less than minimum wage' the county pays isn't worth the baggage one has to take on as a volunteer poll worker. And yes it does have a tendency to make people a bit less pleasant when they are being hammered on constantly over a Republican conspiracy theory that just don't exist except in the propaganda from FOX and other conservative (?) media outlets.

Yeah, they're pretty transparently trying to create an authoritarian state, it's unquestionable at this point. Some of us were _trying_ to warn people where this was going in 2016 and got scolded a lot by that insufferable American optimism "oh that could _never_ happen _here",_ but here we are anyway. Let's hope we don't get round II of the Drumpf circus, the "USA" as a going democratic concern, will absolutely not survive it.
Texas used to be so blue. Texans have voted more than 2 dozens blue governors. It turned into red when Bush became governor till today. Hopefully Texans will really work hard to make it so blue again. 🙏💙💙💙
Negative LOSERS. Can't win a positive policy based election. Every red state is throwing every obstacle that suppresses their opposition from voting. A big one is "PURGING" Democrats and Independents from the voter rolls. Verify your registration a few times before 2024 election cut off time.

It’s obvious that Republicans will do ANYTHING to try snd ensure a win in the v😅mung presidential elections. How shameful that they’re having to resort to such nefarious antics to to try and win. If GOP spent as much time and energy in making policies and working to get them passed as they do in their illegal antics the US people would be so much better off.
NAACP is concentrating on culture issues. Marc is in the REAL world where Texas is trying the legislate a one party rule at ALL costs. Democracy Docket deserves our support! Congrats, tip my ten gallon hat🥰👐🤠
I live in Houston, and I’m glad you’re covering this issue because I think it’s important for people to know what the state is trying to do electorally in HTX/Harris Co, but I’d love to see more media coverage on the state takeover of Texas’ largest school district. All of this came about at the same time. The state removed the HISD superintendent and appointed someone without stakeholder input. The school board was also undemocratically appointed. It’s a pretty big deal. Please look into it and report on it if you can.
Oh, no. That sounds like a disaster! I didn't realize that was going on, but I guess I shouldn't be surprised. I got a great education in Texas, and it's appalling to know that so many others won't have that.
@@bjdefilippo447 so many things like closing public school libraries. I'm just saddened to see my adopted state trying to stunt the ability to educate our children.
One hopes that before long, all of these laws are used to fullest effect against all Texas Republicans. May they be "hoist by their own petard" very soon.
@f.michaelbremer-cruz2708 I’m surprised that the crippled, ignorant, arrogant, delusional, racist, sexist, bigoted, murder and aspiring dictator that Texas has for a governor, HASN’T been arrested by now for his crimes. 🙄🤬
One start is Allred beating Cruz out of his Senate seat. I know that’s National and not State. But it would a beacon of hope that we so desperately need. Man, I still can’t believe Beto lost to Abbott. I almost just gave up then.
Thank God I live in California. I’ve always voted by mail because I was a night nurse. Couldn’t afford to miss work, nor work miss me. Besides it was bloody convenient. Oh we also voted absentee when we were stationed all over the world.
I am so incredibly thankful to Marc Elias and his team for everything they do to preserve America's democracy! I know it's difficult, but keep up your incredible work!!
Here in Ohio they closed down voting places and so you would have to wait 3 or in some cases many more hrs Well some people were bringing voters bottles of water and even food So they started passing laws that you couldn't give a person food or water or hold their place if they stepped out of line to use the bathroom It's just getting ridiculous how some of these red states are making it harder for voters in more Democratic areas to vote!!
Thank you Brian and Marc for bringing this important information to our attention! I don’t hear anything about these issues on any other channels or networks, which I can’t understand because this is so important. Just because it isn’t happening in ‘your’ state doesn’t mean it isn’t affecting you. It affects our entire country as a whole!
It isn't , but what Judge doesn't already owe his soul to the powers that got him there, and the Koch sucking GOP has been buying up judges and placing people in specific positions to manipulate the Constitution and the Supreme Court.
I’m not sure what you mean by, “a loss for Texas“ because this ruling is a win for the people living in Texas and a loss for the political machine attempting to extend its iron grip on the political process.
The loss of Texas itself would be a gain for America. Let them secede, and good riddance. Better yet, there are now more Hispanic than White residents, so Mexico could and should take the land back, repatriate the Hispanic residents, and drop the most egregiously racist & bigoted gringos far out in the middle of the Gulf.
And remember that local,positions matter a LOT. These laws being passed and enforced depend on local positions being Republicans supporting voter suppression. Vote Blue for fairness.
It’s not only the biggest and most liberal county (probably outside Travis), it also has the largest African American population in texas. I find it hard to believe even the Supreme Court would allow this
The Republicans know that they can’t continue to win without underhanded maneuvers and voter suppression. Thank you, Marc Alias and your team for continuing to fight against these tactics. Thank you, Brian Taylor Cohen for your work as well.
Freedom is "NOT" when your elected government conspires to reduce your quality of life and destroy the American Dream by creating an income disparity never before seen in Our History and then rather than cure the problem reacts to the result not the cure and cites the lawless behaviors by people who's lives have been destroyed by inflation caused by these same elected politicians and their owners. I'm talking about the REPUBLICAN PARTY and the Billionaires who hired them to represent their GREED and not represent US, the 98% that makes everything, pays for everything and does all the work.
Thank you Marc Elias and Brian Tyler Cohen for all you do to keep the parties issues and courts in check. Democracy would have already been in pieces wo your hard hard work
Republicans are trying to pass laws in many states to regulate voting rights!!!! Example, Issue 1 in Ohio!!!! Thankfully Ohio voted it down!!!!! That makes so proud to live in Ohio!!!!! Next I pray that they vote Jim Jordan out!!!!!
Harris County is Houston. Houston is the most diverse city in the US & the Republicans in Austin want to control the election outcome. As a Native Houstonian, I find the Republican shenanigans to disenfranchise the voters in Houston reprehensible. AG Paxton gleefully admitted recently, that he disenfranchised 2.5 million Harris County voters ballots to ensure that Democrat candidates would lose. Those 2.5 million disenfranchised voters could have easily thrown folks like Abbott, Patrick & Paxton out of office. My last act as a Texan was casting my ballot in the 2016 election. I don’t miss standing in long lines in the stifling heat & humidity to cast my ballot. Thankfully, I now live in a state were the state mails your ballot to you & I can fill it out from the comfort of my couch & drop it in ballot box should I chose to do so or I can go to the closest polling place to cast my ballot.
Not yet. The AG's office appealed to the Texas Supreme Court, so Judge Crump's ruling is nullified for now. Rollerbot still controls Harris County elections.
We are not powerless. Get out and Vote 💙 down ballot in numbers never seen before and send them a message it's we who decides who represents us not them.
I can't say how fortunate I feel that there are people like you both trying so hard to set things right. I spend so much of my time promoting renewable energy and many other tasks that I can help out very little in the voter fraud fight. Keep up the fantastic work and hopefully I'll meet you at some point in the future! I've lost a lot of friends and business opportunities over the Maga, etc fight, but I'm far from done on this!
Well, that's how it's suppose to work, but unfortunately republicans have there own way, and it's called cheating to win at all cost. We MUST vote straight BLUE to hold on to our freedom. 🌊💙
The way it SHOULD work is they should be bipartisan based on LAW. But before they were judges they were voters & most likely claimed a party. And many are chosen (Federal anyway) by Dem or Repub Presidents & Congress so party does fit in. A GOOD judge will follow law & not party or politics.
And Ken Paxton and wife. Vote Angela out, enabler from subpoena that puts up with mistress. She was STRONG supporter of never an exception 6 week abortion ban, FT. Worth (what a mess up there, culturally/school boards/wanting vouchers).

It’s obvious that Republicans will do ANYTHING to try snd ensure a win in the v😅mung presidential elections. How shameful that they’re having to resort to such nefarious antics to to try and win. If GOP spent as much time and energy in making policies and working to get them passed as they do in their illegal antics the US people would be so much better off.
NAACP is concentrating on culture issues.
Marc is in the REAL world where Texas is trying the legislate a one party rule at ALL costs.
Democracy Docket deserves our support! Congrats, tip my ten gallon hat🥰👐🤠
I live in Houston, and I’m glad you’re covering this issue because I think it’s important for people to know what the state is trying to do electorally in HTX/Harris Co, but I’d love to see more media coverage on the state takeover of Texas’ largest school district. All of this came about at the same time. The state removed the HISD superintendent and appointed someone without stakeholder input. The school board was also undemocratically appointed. It’s a pretty big deal. Please look into it and report on it if you can.
Oh, no. That sounds like a disaster! I didn't realize that was going on, but I guess I shouldn't be surprised. I got a great education in Texas, and it's appalling to know that so many others won't have that.
@@bjdefilippo447 so many things like closing public school libraries. I'm just saddened to see my adopted state trying to stunt the ability to educate our children.
One hopes that before long, all of these laws are used to fullest effect against all Texas Republicans. May they be "hoist by their own petard" very soon.
Nope. I understand the partisan zeal. but, every voter has the right to cast their ballet and have it counted.
Hoping that justice prevails so all keep rights to vote no matter what!! Keep voting laws protected.
@f.michaelbremer-cruz2708 I’m surprised that the crippled, ignorant, arrogant, delusional, racist, sexist, bigoted, murder and aspiring dictator that Texas has for a governor, HASN’T been arrested by now for his crimes. 🙄🤬
One start is Allred beating Cruz out of his Senate seat. I know that’s National and not State. But it would a beacon of hope that we so desperately need.
Man, I still can’t believe Beto lost to Abbott. I almost just gave up then.
Haven’t seen this expression in a minute! The hoisting is underway.
Thank you Mr. Tyler-Cohen and Mr. Elias for your work and commentary.
Bryan and Mark I thank you for your diligence in watching out for democracy. You are steadfast.
Houston here, thank you for noticing this.
OMG Mark! Keep up your work and fight for voter’s rights!
Got a Democracy Docket T-Shirt. Feels extra soft, probably not, but feels like a cloud☁️
Marc is my Hero 💖🇺🇸
Thank God I live in California. I’ve always voted by mail because I was a night nurse. Couldn’t afford to miss work, nor work miss me. Besides it was bloody convenient. Oh we also voted absentee when we were stationed all over the world.
Hope you're not in the path of Hilary! Be safe. WA State enjoys mail in ballots too! I love it! It's flippin' rediculous to demonize it!
Yes, be safe out there!🙏💙🙏
I am so incredibly thankful to Marc Elias and his team for everything they do to preserve America's democracy! I know it's difficult, but keep up your incredible work!!
Here in Ohio they closed down voting places and so you would have to wait 3 or in some cases many more hrs Well some people were bringing voters bottles of water and even food So they started passing laws that you couldn't give a person food or water or hold their place if they stepped out of line to use the bathroom It's just getting ridiculous how some of these red states are making it harder for voters in more Democratic areas to vote!!
Thank you Marc for your relentless work on trying to preserve our democracy.😊✌️💙
I agree 😊💙👍
We love you Elias❤ Thank you for fighting for democracy 💙💙💙
Thank you Marc and thank you Brian for continuing to bring Marc on!
SO happy to have voted for Colin Allred.
Yes he is a good man for the people. 😢sadly majority choose Cruz anti people.
Thank you Brian and Marc for bringing this important information to our attention! I don’t hear anything about these issues on any other channels or networks, which I can’t understand because this is so important. Just because it isn’t happening in ‘your’ state doesn’t mean it isn’t affecting you. It affects our entire country as a whole!
How is any of this B.S. constitutional in the USA?
It isn't , but what Judge doesn't already owe his soul to the powers that got him there, and the Koch sucking GOP has been buying up judges and placing people in specific positions to manipulate the Constitution and the Supreme Court.
I cant even believe that this was even attempted.
Thank you Marc Elias for everything you do for democracy. You're a true patriot!
Than God for Marc!!!!
No one should retaliat against a witness including Trump.
A loss for Texas is a gain for America.
Agree hope Texas go blue 24 🥳💙💙🙏🙏🎉
for sure
I’m not sure what you mean by, “a loss for Texas“ because this ruling is a win for the people living in Texas and a loss for the political machine attempting to extend its iron grip on the political process.
The loss of Texas itself would be a gain for America. Let them secede, and good riddance. Better yet, there are now more Hispanic than White residents, so Mexico could and should take the land back, repatriate the Hispanic residents, and drop the most egregiously racist & bigoted gringos far out in the middle of the Gulf.
@SeanPat1001 Seriously! That was my thought, too! Perhaps a loss for Texas Republicans is a win for the country, but then that's true in every state.
LOVE when Marc Elias is featured on your channel, Brian.
I have learned so much from you both!
Oh happy day! Vote blue 💙 Texas, please. Your lives and freedom depend on it
We voted all DEMs in TX and MA💙💙💙💙
Mark thank you for ALL the work you and your team are doing!!!!💙💙💙
Check your voter registrations frequently and get out to vote in EVERY election, not just general elections!
And remember that local,positions matter a LOT. These laws being passed and enforced depend on local positions being Republicans supporting voter suppression. Vote Blue for fairness.
As a Texan I can’t imagine Harris County demolishing the election department. It is so complex
👍👍♥️♥️
Secretary of State takeover by design. She's okay from the little I know.
Only solution really is voting. Texas has LOTS of newbies. Easier 2024🌊🗣️
Visit locally. Districts being set up,🗳️
And The Walls Come Tumbling Down!
Got to admit when I see the words republicans and set back, I get a quick smile 👍
Thank you, for reporting 👍👍👍👍👍
Brian, keep doing what you do so well. I appreciate all your podcasts, as millions of others do as well.
This show is always great! Interesting how the States differ.
It’s not only the biggest and most liberal county (probably outside Travis), it also has the largest African American population in texas. I find it hard to believe even the Supreme Court would allow this
THIS Supreme Court? I sure don't!
Not when you are in the minority and you packed the courts with radical judges. The only way to stay in power is to cheat.
Shady Supreme Courts
Another blue area is El Paso Texas. They have fought the governor twice all the way to the Texas Supreme Court and have lost.
@@richhopson6063 yet you can’t say how the judges are radical.
Weird. 😂
I want to see that S.O.B out of the government
Just disgusting what they’re attempting
Yay democracy!
Yay 🥳🥳💙😄🙏
The Republicans know that they can’t continue to win without underhanded maneuvers and voter suppression. Thank you, Marc Alias and your team for continuing to fight against these tactics. Thank you, Brian Taylor Cohen for your work as well.
Freedom is "NOT" when your elected government conspires to reduce your quality of life and destroy the American Dream by creating an income disparity never before seen in Our History and then rather than cure the problem reacts to the result not the cure and cites the lawless behaviors by people who's lives have been destroyed by inflation caused by these same elected politicians and their owners. I'm talking about the REPUBLICAN PARTY and the Billionaires who hired them to represent their GREED and not represent US, the 98% that makes everything, pays for everything and does all the work.
Democracy Docket needs our support🤑
Hakeem Jefferies is VERY ACTIVE DCCC
South is neglected.🔵
Marc, you are brilliant!
Thank you Marc Elias and Brian Tyler Cohen for all you do to keep the parties issues and courts in check. Democracy would have already been in pieces wo your hard hard work
Republicans are trying to pass laws in many states to regulate voting rights!!!! Example, Issue 1 in Ohio!!!! Thankfully Ohio voted it down!!!!! That makes so proud to live in Ohio!!!!! Next I pray that they vote Jim Jordan out!!!!!
Brian, this is such important work, I am so glad you're here.
2 of my favorite guys!
Thank you!!!
Great interview. Thank u BTC.
God bless America 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Signed up and donated to Democracy Docket! Keep up the good work DD!
Disgraceful, trying to disenfranchise those voters! Why only Harris county?!
It's has the most minorities, which typically votes democrats into office.
Harris County I think it’s Houston, which is a large portion of Black people who likely will vote Democratic. They’re trying to hit the big cities.
Harris County is Houston. Houston is the most diverse city in the US & the Republicans in Austin want to control the election outcome. As a Native Houstonian, I find the Republican shenanigans to disenfranchise the voters in Houston reprehensible. AG Paxton gleefully admitted recently, that he disenfranchised 2.5 million Harris County voters ballots to ensure that Democrat candidates would lose. Those 2.5 million disenfranchised voters could have easily thrown folks like Abbott, Patrick & Paxton out of office. My last act as a Texan was casting my ballot in the 2016 election. I don’t miss standing in long lines in the stifling heat & humidity to cast my ballot. Thankfully, I now live in a state were the state mails your ballot to you & I can fill it out from the comfort of my couch & drop it in ballot box should I chose to do so or I can go to the closest polling place to cast my ballot.
Thank you Marc💙💙💙💙💙
Great news!
Best news out of TX in a longtime!
Not yet. The AG's office appealed to the Texas Supreme Court, so Judge Crump's ruling is nullified for now. Rollerbot still controls Harris County elections.
Texas is fed up with the Republicans in Texas, vote them out Texas.
Great episode of democracy watch. Keep up the great work Marc in fighting these voter suppressors.
BTC, we thank you for your insight and dedication to our constitution!
Now can we fix what they did on the schools?
Once again, great reporting and great work. ✅
Kudos to Democracy Watch! Praying for equal justice.
We are not powerless. Get out and Vote 💙 down ballot in numbers never seen before and send them a message it's we who decides who represents us not them.
We voted all DEMs in TX and MA💙💙💙💙
I can't say how fortunate I feel that there are people like you both trying so hard to set things right.
I spend so much of my time promoting renewable energy and many other tasks that I can help out very little in the voter fraud fight. Keep up the fantastic work and hopefully I'll meet you at some point in the future!
I've lost a lot of friends and business opportunities over the Maga, etc fight, but I'm far from done on this!
WOW! Great job on Joy’s show brother! Keep up the good work!
Thank you so much Mark for all the work your doing.
This guy is very knowledgeable and is a great interview
How can a court be either democratic or republican? Shouldn't a court be impartial by law to able to make unbiased rulings based only on the law?
Are you new to this country? Let me introduce you to Mr. Sam Alito and his 5 friends in robes.
Well, that's how it's suppose to work, but unfortunately republicans have there own way, and it's called cheating to win at all cost. We MUST vote straight BLUE to hold on to our freedom. 🌊💙
The way it SHOULD work is they should be bipartisan based on LAW. But before they were judges they were voters & most likely claimed a party. And many are chosen (Federal anyway) by Dem or Repub Presidents & Congress so party does fit in. A GOOD judge will follow law & not party or politics.
It SHOULD BE, but Texas is full of skeezy Repugs
They were the only puppets available on short notice and the GOP sure likes the dregs in the bottom of the barrel !
What … Another Loss for the GOP & Donald … How can that be 😂
Yeah rah. Did boom ba. Vote all blue,!!!!!!!!
IKR say it isn't so 😭🤣😄
And Ken Paxton and wife. Vote Angela out, enabler from subpoena that puts up with mistress. She was STRONG supporter of never an exception 6 week abortion ban, FT. Worth (what a mess up there, culturally/school boards/wanting vouchers).
