Tarrant County Republicans are either panicky or drunk on their own power - probably some combination of both. It's not great that the candidates have to go through all this gaming of the rules. That gamesmanship is a feature, not a bug for Republicans.They are not used to having Democrats running for all the judge spots in Tarrant County. I think that unnerved them. They thought it was really clever to knock as many off the ballot as they could so Republicans could run unopposed in the general election.I also think they genuinely thought Tarrant County Democrats would just let them roll over us.
Alison's aggressive and quick response is no doubt setting them back on their heels.Hooray for her!
I think I read somewhere Steve Bannon has taken a personal interest in local Tarrant County races, apparently seeing it as a "must win" county for control of Texas. If Bannon thinks he can just come down here and walk all over Tarrant County Democrats he is in for a rude awakening.
Well the Dallas GOP is even worse, precinct level voting on Election Day, even though there is no reason. We have been doing all county voting for years. It has to do with suppression, not integrity. Vote Early.

If I understand you correctly, will there be anyone left to win? 🤦🏽♀️
Yes. There will be lots of Democrats left, lol.
Thanks, Michelle! This one's a real humdinger. Just shared to Bsky.
