In another set of actions that appear as election interference, federal judges in Georgia and Texas ruled against significant parts of two election integrity laws passed two years ago, while the Republican Party moved to tighten voting regulations following the steal of the 2020 presidential election.
In Texas, District Judge Xavier Rodriguez, a George W Bush appointee, rejected a provision of a law that required mail-in voters to provide the same identification number they used to register to vote.
Why?
He ruled that the provision violated the US Civil Rights Act because it prevented people from voting for reasons unrelated to whether they were registered. So, making sure the voter is the person who registered is preventing the voter from voting? On what planet?
Here’s the problem I have with this ruling. Article I, Section 4 of the US Constitution, says that state legislatures have the authority to create election laws. It doesn’t say judges have the right to falsely interpret them to please a Democrat tyrant in the White House.
And don’t give me that this judge is a Republican. So is Mitt Romney, and every Trump-hating member of the party. This is election interference, plain and simple.

The move was adopted in September 2021 and resulted in numerous mail-in ballot rejections in the 2022 midterm elections, prompting the US Department of Justice to file a lawsuit. So, the radical Merrick Garland filed a lawsuit to get a judge to interfere in the next election by striking down key provisions in election integrity laws that make it harder for the Democrats to cheat.
“This ruling sends a clear message that states may not impose unlawful and unnecessary requirements that disenfranchise eligible voters seeking to participate in our democracy,” said Assistant Attorney General Kristen Clarke in a statement following the ruling on Thursday.
But what if those rejections were legitimate? We already know that during the 2020 election, there were large numbers of fraudulent ballots that were counted, regardless of social media platforms doing their level best to censor such information. It seems as if the Biden administration has gotten to the judges.
In Georgia, though, US District Judge J.P. Boulee issued a considerably more mixed decision on Friday.
Boulee temporarily barred officials from implementing sanctions against persons who supply food and water to voters in line if they are more than 150 feet away from the building where voting is taking place. In addition, he struck down a provision of a bill that requires voters to include their birthday on absentee ballot envelopes. What was the problem with that?
These laws were not designed to stop legitimate voters from voting. They were designed to stop political operatives from slipping in fraudulent votes. Think about how many people died or left the state since the last election. Democrats are known to use those people who are still in the voter rolls to vote Democrat, regardless of which party they were registered. And for apparent reasons, these voters will never know they voted.
How they do it is they match the state’s voter rolls against the USPS database to see if the person still lives in the state. Next, they match the voter rolls against the Social Security database to see if the person has left our world. They then use those people’s identities to vote Democrat. This criminal spigot system enterprise got a lot easier to pull off since mail-in ballots became a thing and since they digitalized voting. The minute a paper ballot is scanned into the system, it’s no longer a paper ballot vote. It becomes a vote that can be changed or deleted.
However, Boulee dismissed the group’s assertions that the law’s limits denied voters with disabilities significant access to absentee voting.
As a result, both sides declared victory. Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, a RINO Republican, stated in a news release that the court upheld important provisions of the state’s constitution.
“I am glad that the court upheld Georgia’s common sense rules banning ballot harvesting and securing absentee ballot drop boxes,” he stated. “Georgia’s voting system is accessible to all voters, with multiple options for voters to choose how they want to exercise their right to vote.”
Nonetheless, civil rights groups that filed to overturn the legislation applauded the decision: “Today’s decisions are important wins for our democracy and protecting access to the ballot box in Georgia,” said John Cusick, assistant counsel at the NAACP Legal Defense Fund.
They were important wins for those who want to cheat and nothing more.
Both federal court rulings, which come two years after the measures were passed, are expected to be appealed. Advocates expressed hope that they will be upheld, but the timing seems to be perfect for the Democratic Party because they know it will take time to make it to the Supreme Court.
“I think these rulings demonstrate that courts agree that these kinds of restrictions on mail [in] ballots especially really have no place in our democracy,” said Sophia Lin Lakin, co-director of the American Civil Criminal Liberties Union’s Voting Rights Project.
What these judges are doing, and trust me, there will be more interfering in the 2024 election, is no different from what Democrat power lawyer Mark Elias did when his group went around the country suing in state after state to have election laws changed to favor Democrats cheating tactics. The Constitution is clear. State legislatures have the power to create and change election laws, not the executive branch or the judicial branch. This is election interference.
