I mean this entire recent thing with Paxton is over like 6500 voter registrations.
If there are people that bad at risk assessment we’re talking tiny, tiny chunks of votes.
Even looking at this from Paxton’s point of view and assume every one of those votes was in bad faith, he’s the one with risk assessment issues. The response is so over blown its ridiculous.
This is the wedge. Look at Abortion. They banned that completely and the entire time they talked about 3rd trimester abortions which are a tiny fraction of all abortions and only when the fetus is dead or incompatible with life.
Their playbook has always been to go after edge cases to create the will for large changes.
This is an important observation that I wish more people would make. Conservative groups constantly pick at the fringes of behaviour to justify their policy positions.

You see if everywhere once you know to look.
