4. Cornyn "Cornpone" is normally very quiet but because he is being challenged

by an even more vile Texan, Ken Paxton, I'm sure he feels the need to bring attention to himself. I'm hoping this obnoxious move by him will have a negative effect on the voters of Texas. Most people already have a negative opinion of Paxton because he is such a corrupt AG and hopefully this by Cornyn will open the door for his Democratic challenger next year.

This power grab by Texas is so shameful and nothing good can come from it. This is a good case of where we need Congress to step in and put a top to this otherwise our entire voting system is in jeopardy.

Hard to grasp how corrupt the politics have become in the US but it is real and seems to be getter worse by the day.
