they will not.

I was astonished to see that the Dallas Morning News editorial board was so critical of Abbott. They do get it right once in a while. :applause:

so might as well self-kick for rec 5, if anyone thinks it's worth it.... ;)

And, thank you!

Let's hope the lege is listening......

A years-long, high-profile campaign by Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott, a Republican, to prosecute elderly Democratic Party volunteers for voter fraud because they helped homebound seniors to vote by mailing their absentee ballots -- but not signing the backs of envelopes -- fell apart on federal court house steps in Texas on Wednesday.

The Attorney General agreed to settle a federal lawsuit challenging the voter fraud prosecutions of the Democratic volunteers rather than go to trial, according to the Lone Star Campaign, which first characterized the AG's prosecutions as politically motivated voter suppression and funded the litigation. Gerald Hebert, an ex-Department of Justice Voting Section Chief and now executive director of the Washington-based Campaign legal Center, represented the Texas Democratic Party and volunteers in the suit.

"Now, none of those people would have never been prosecuted," Hebert told the Associated Press.

Abbott's office also claimed victory in the settlement, although almost all of the legal issues were resolved in the plaintiff's favor. Nonetheless, the attorney general told The New York Times the plaintiffs "discovered that their claims were without basis in fact or law" and "dropped their suit."
