She was also born in Colombia. She didn't come to this country until she was 15. She's not a lawyer. She has a BA from Stanford (of course). But not much else.
Yes, in 2018. Unopposed in the dem primary, then unseating the repub incumbent. This was possibly as a result of straight ticket voting, which I believe has been repealed.
So you’re wrong as to straight ticket still being allowed (as of now, it isn’t, though I’m sure dems will appeal).
I also understand your concerns about shifting demos, however, straight ticket voting allows lazy ass voters to hit one button and walk away. Without it, fewer people will vote for bottom of the ticket, and typically only higher info voters.
From the first linked article, you will see the end of straight ticket was to take place for the 2020 election.
So first you said it is still allowed (it isn’t), and now you seem to imply that I was asserting it was banned for 2018. It wasn’t, and I didn’t imply It was; I explicitly said it was available for her election.
Houston pede here. Her election was the result of a combination of several things. Political split in Houston is pretty 50/50, so any election may be close. On top of that, Beto significantly boosted candidates across Texas with the aid of straight ticket voting. Dems won races in 2018 no one would have ever thought possible.
She beat Ed Emmett, who was very popular in Houston. He did a fantastic job leading the County after Harvey. City leadership (same people as today) was somewhere between absent and a total mess.
Going into the election, many thought Judge Emmett would be the only republican to win. The thinking was that his popularity would overcome Lina’s ability to ride Beto’s coattails and the advantages of straight ticket voting. After all, she was a 27-year old, inexperienced nobody. He was the person that lead Harris County for years through several crises.
His race was the closest race in the county, but he came up a little short. Every other republican lost big. His loss hurt the county immensely, especially now.
I believe that the 2018 election was the last election with straight ticket voting available. It has been eliminated in Texas.
I lived in Houston for 3 years in the early 2000s and it was fucked then. I graduated trade school stayed another couple years and got the hell out of there.
I'm disregarding the stay at home and facemask shit. Except to get into some stores where I usually have one in my pocket in case they ask. (If I need something). Its all good I'm a BLM protester
29 years old and the Chief Executive of one of the biggest counties in the country!?!? What the actual fuck, I know Soros bought her spot but what the fuck??
So if I enter a store without a mask, they stop me! Yes, they have employees who will stop you. And if you don't comply they call security to remove you.
So what would you do?
What I have done is drive 30 minutes to Montgomery County to shop.
Do not get me started!!!!!!! The jerk "health officer" - or some such titled position - has just dictated that everyone in my county must now always wear a mask in any public place. This means that a number of stores that I deem "essential" are cut off from me, and others have locations and franchises that are at least half an hour away.
Maybe they didn't- how the fuck did someone who was barely in Houston (a few years at most)- comeback and win an election by 19,000 plus votes. It was considered a huge upset. How did that upset happen? Where did the money come from?
No one knew her name till today. A lotta of tweets about her just popped up today and blew up. Apparently she did so much to protect harris county during the beginning of the virus but no one listened. I'm really starting to believe this soros shit I've not heard of this lady once in the past year but all of sudden she's the hero that's gonna save Houston and of course she's a Hispanic immigrant.
She's Colombian and hasn't really been here that long. Depending on the part of Colombia she is from, she's basically white. But liberal dipshits here will act like she's some latinx.
“Harris County Judge” is, believe it or not, not a judicial position. She acts as chief executive of the county. Weird? Yes.
Was she elected?
Yes, in 2018. Unopposed in the dem primary, then unseating the repub incumbent. This was possibly as a result of straight ticket voting, which I believe has been repealed.
No. It has nothing to do with straight ticket voting, which is still allowed and not challenged.
Harris was the last red metro county. We lost 8t and will never get it back. Demographics is destiny. Texas is fucked.
In 2017, Abbott signed a bill getting rid of straight ticket voting: https://www.texastribune.org/2017/06/01/texas-gov-greg-abbott-signs-bill-eliminate-straight-ticket-voting/
A few days ago, dems suit to keep it was tossed: https://www.texastribune.org/2020/06/24/texas-straight-ticket-voting-lawsuit/

Add to the fact that she has lived half her life in Columbia, Peru, Mexico, and Thailand, as well as gaining U.S. citizenship only 7 years ago.
No true American would shit on their own like this cunt. Communist sympathizers all....
She hitched a ride on the Beta O'Cuck straight ticket.
Yep, beto did a lot of damage to Texas
Beto? You mean Robert Francis O'Rourke??
royberto
No one 29 should be able to make decisions of consequences. They don't have any life experience.
Protest outside her house.
US immigration laws are much worse than EU.
Soros bought and sold.
Find her in blackface or posting/pictured with some other non-PC issue and get here out of there.
It's sad that she was elected to anything. Soros needs to be run out of the country for treason.
^^^THIS^^^
But it's time to fight back. Got to be non-PC dirt on all. Or IRS debts, police records, incomplete school transcripts, etc.
I lived in Houston for 3 years in the early 2000s and it was fucked then. I graduated trade school stayed another couple years and got the hell out of there.
Many times they just fear for their jobs. A nurse or doc seen as being a “bad example” to the community is 100% cancelable.

Maybe she should have shut down the 15 funerals for George Kirby!
I live here.
The store owners get fined $1,000 per "incident".
So if I enter a store without a mask, they stop me! Yes, they have employees who will stop you. And if you don't comply they call security to remove you.
So what would you do?

But that gets old.

Full hazmat suit with a rifle strapped to your back. We can all play "it's the end of the world".
Why the fuck is some 29 year old Colombian immigrant in a position of judicial power? Get rid of this little fucker.
He is doing what the liberals want. Why would anyone vote for a luberal because of that?
Soros candidate.
It’s why I’m disregarding her bullshit
Doctors in Harris County say there is no ICU shortage.
Of the cases they see, the people attended a bar, a protest or went tubing.
Few are dying.
Cause the city elected her! Yes you brought this on yourself!
Compliance
Is why
Because the people of Harris county voted for her. They're getting what they voted for.
Maybe they didn't- how the fuck did someone who was barely in Houston (a few years at most)- comeback and win an election by 19,000 plus votes. It was considered a huge upset. How did that upset happen? Where did the money come from?

I have never seen a white person that looked like that.
The question is where did the votes come from. Houston election officials are notorious for voted fraud.
Quick! Meme Hawaiian judges in 10 - gallon hats!
A female??? Lol
Yea. Irrelevant
