#8 "Reporting is just reinforcement
For narrative: horseshit, not horse sense."
The Chronicle cries,
"Though those stories were lies,
You can totally trust our endorsements!"

#9 Houston, we have a problem. The perils of straight-ticket voting were on full display Tuesday in Harris County. Houston voters threw out the bums, and the best, too. Hours after losing his bid for re-election, a Harris County, Texas judge released almost all the youthful defendants who appeared in front of him, apparently saying it was what voters wanted. Devlin and the county’s other two juvenile judges – all Republicans – were ousted from their seats in favor of Democrats on Tuesday by at least 10-point spreads. In all, Democrats swept 59 local Texas courts.

The newly elected Harris County clerk plans to phase out the county’s eSlate voting machines, which have occasionally caused problems for voters. Diane Trautman, who beat the incumbent in the countywide sweep of Democrats, also wants to improve the county’s elections technology so voters can cast ballots in any precinct on Election Day. Currently, residents are allowed to vote at any polling place during early voting, but must use a designated location on Election Day. “We must replace the current electronic machines with an electronic machine that produces a verifiable paper trail,” Trautman said. “The problem, of course, is the funding.”

Soros money to overhaul criminal justice system went off without a hitch in Houston. Fraudulent funding is never in short supply.
