Texas is large. There will always be suppression, cheating, small victories for the good guys, and strangeness.
It’s probably never been a real democracy where each person can cast one ballot that is always counted as it should be. It wasn’t in most of the 1800s, was not during the civil rights era, and is not today.
But the methods of cheating have charged since the 1990s, and only exist now because very few people in Texas, who talk politics, understand democracy has two parts: the voting and the counting. And one should never trust the counters. Or trust but verify.
