Strangeabbott hires the Schatz to give Texas elections the Schitz

Strangeabbott hires nutter Nate Schatzline to somehow try to fuck around with elections and do T-Rump's bidding. That's what it means, Kuff. NOT hiring him to replace Jane Nelson as secretary of state is kind of a tell. Outside of fucking around with elections, as the story notes, he'll be Strange's point man on trying to get the Lege to OK closed primaries. Note that Schatz pushed a bill to that end in 2025 but it never got out of committee, meaning Strange is going to probably have to do a fair bit of strongarming.

Schitz — yeah, let's just go there — is also a 2020 election falser and more.

And, in re that Trib piece, as I said on Kuff's posting of it:

Once again, the Trib tries to erase third parties. I don’t know who the Libertarians might be running or not, but I know the Greens have a practicing Muslim, Shehla Fahzi for comptroller, who promises to trash all anti-BDS language in the Comptroller’s office, a pledge I am unaware of Dem Sarah Eckhardt making. (I’m going in part on an interview the Observer had shortly before primaries, when it never raised that issue with her.)

Shock me. 

Eckhardt? She is sympathetic to pro-Palestinian protestors, but has not made a specific pledge like that.
