Senator Johnson says [Republicans' justifications are] nonsense and insists Republicans are trying to do two things at once.

“Simultaneously rig the election so that they can win, and delegitimize the vote so that if they don’t win, or if they win by a narrow margin, they can blame someone else,” the Democrat told us on Inside Texas Politics. “They are trying to stop people from voting, to scare people from voting.”

It's nice to see our politicians saying it out loud, instead of playing nice to the cameras while people's ability to vote is at stake. Harris is within spitting distance of Trump in Texas, and it would be a massive(ly overdue) wakeup call if Republicans lost their "guaranteed" 40 electoral college votes.
