Matthew 4:24 - And his fame went throughout all Syria, and they brought unto him all sick people that were taken with different diseases and torments, and those which were possessed with devils, and those which were lunatic, and those that had the palsy, and he healed them.
The Republican Party of Texas recently completed their State Convention in Houston, Texas. Every two years, each party holds precinct, county, and state conventions. Delegates come together from all over the state to discuss and update the party platform and legislative priorities for the next two years. This year, Cass County was represented by eight delegates including myself. The Republican Party of Texas subsequently released their list of Legislative Priorities for the 88th Session (2023-2024) of the Texas Legislature. Chief among them is to protect our elections. Election Integrity has been a hot topic for several years. In 2021 the Texas Legislature passed a measure authored by our Texas State Senator Bryan Hughes (R-Mineola) designed to, in his own words, “make it easy to vote and hard to cheat.” Among the reforms were to strengthen poll watcher protection and bring about transparency by utilizing technology throughout the electoral process. This complemented the previous election integrity measures which mandated that by 2024, each county have paper verifiable voting systems.
