Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Wednesday, February 04, 2026

Republicans are in full-out panic mode over their plunging support with Hispanic voters after losing a special election in a ruby-red Texas district over the weekend. On Saturday, a Democrat posted a 14-point victory in a Fort Worth-based state senate district President Donald Trump had won by 17 points in 2024, a staggering swing that was powered by significant shifts across the district's Hispanic areas. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) told reporters Tuesday that the election was a "very concerning outcome." Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick posted on X that the results should be a "wake-up call for Republicans across Texas. Our voters cannot take anything for granted." Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said "a swing of this magnitude is not something that can be dismissed."

That's why Pedo47 wants to nationalize the elections, so that they can purge anyone with a hispanic sounding name before the midterms.

That has been the playbook for the GOP since the 1990's with anyone with a name remotely close to someone that is a known felon.

Cancel their voter registration.

They show up to vote.

Are told they can't and can only fill out a "provisional ballot".

Leave thinking they voted but in fact if they don't go down to the election headquarters and get their voter status restored those provisional ballots are tossed out and who if they are working full time has the time to do that?

That is what they are counting on.

Check your registration while you still have time to fix it before election day.

Well, Trump is developing a solution to deal with Hispanic voters, steal the elections.

So, no need for the GOP to freak out or worry their little heads at all.
