The Paxton nonsense on election day seemed mainly to mess up the narrative if either candidate narrowly won. Only Dallas and Austin seemed to have the problem with a change in how to vote. As it was if you look at the Dallas County official site, Crockett only won the day of voting by around 10,000. Given his margin of victory even if half the people who wanted to vote on election day but couldn't, if their voting pattern was similar to the people who did vote, he would still have won by a large margin.

The fact that this voter suppression is highly unlikely to have changed the vote, it is still a major problem that is undemocratic. Voting should be easy for all registered voters.
