I've been saying for years that the insanely heavy-handed politics of both Florida and Texas aren't an accident nor are they a miscalculation. They're a deliberate policy to drive out liberals, attract conservatives, and ensure that both Florida and Texas (and their precious, precious electoral college votes) remain red.

- Trump won Texas by less than 633k votes. The margin hasn't been that small since before 2000. Republicans are scared of Texas turning blue so they're pulling every dirty trick they can think of.
