    In Texas this election cycle terrified me, it is far different than any previous cycle I’ve voted in here, even when required to vote in person during COVID. Some of the measures implemented at state level really change the experience of voting. The candidate order is simply based on the governor’s party, so always Republican first. And while standing in line the Dallas Morning News was handing out their recommendations for how to vote on the propositions. By only handing out their proposition recommendations and not endorsing a presidential candidate this cycle it hid the fact that they’re a conservative publication, and likely fooled a number of left leaning folks to vote against their own interest on the already poorly summarized propositions.

    Trump is certainly a part of this problem but it’s much, much, deeper than that.
