Jasmine Crockett Goes On Rant About Republicans When It Became Clear Her Own Party Rejected Her

Democratic Rep. Jasmine Crockett claimed Tuesday, before losing a Democratic primary, that Republicans had “specifically targeted Dallas County” after the Texas Supreme Court temporarily halted an order extending voting hours there.

Texas’ highest court blocked the decision to keep polls open until 10 p.m. EST — following variousreports of confusion among Democratic voters at polling sites — after Republican Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton appealed, claiming he had not received proper notice of the ruling, The Hill reported on Tuesday.

Crockett alleged during a campaign event on Tuesday evening that Republicans had “targeted” the county, adding “unfortunately, this is what Republicans like to do,” Fox News reported on Wednesday.

“Knowing that Dallas County is a big dump of votes, we, in my opinion, will not know the election results overall tonight,” Crockett said during the event, Fox News reported.

“So, that’s my news, is that we’re not going to have election results tonight, in my opinion, based upon what specifically is taking place in Dallas County,” Crockett continued. “Unfortunately, this is what Republicans like to do. And, so, they specifically targeted Dallas County, and I think we all know why.”

Crockett also stated that “I can tell you now that people have been disenfranchised,” adding “in my opinion, we will not know the election results overall tonight,” the outlet reported.
