Texas is trading election pros for a pastor who loves a good disruption
Right before the midterms, the Lone Star State is shaking up its voting leadership in the most unpredictable way possible.
So Texas decided that what their election process really needed wasn't someone who actually knows how to run an election. Instead, the frontrunner for the top voting official spot is a state lawmaker and pastor with zero experience in election administration.
Locals are watching this unfold like a slow-motion car crash, mostly because the guy is openly campaigning as a self-styled disruptor. It is a bold move to hand the keys to the entire voting system to someone whose professional background involves sermons rather than ballots.
The state essentially bet that institutional knowledge is overrated and chaos is the new gold standard for democracy.
