Why Will 1,000 National Guard Troops Deploy In Texas Cities On Election Day?

Gov. Greg Abbott hasn’t given a reason for ordering the troops to Dallas, Houston, Austin, Fort Worth and San Antonio.

Oct 27, 2020

On Election Day, members of the Texas Army National Guard will be in the streets of some Texas cities. According to reporting on Monday, the order came from Gov. Greg Abbott. The troops are said to have been called in case of disturbances that arise during the Nov. 3 election.

But many questions remain about where exactly troops will be, and what they’ll be doing.

Sig Christenson covers veterans and the military for the San Antonio Express-News. He told Texas Standard that soldiers will be in Houston, Dallas, Fort Worth, Austin and San Antonio.

Leftist uprisings (BLM, Antifa) will need to be put down, naturally.

Austin is a liberal bastion.

Surprisingly Texas in general has been handling the riots very well. Houston hasn’t had any in months. Oregon on the other hand is in flames day in and day out

Since you're down in Texas, what do you see going on?

Only two things redeemable about Austin are Alex Jones and Titos vodka.

I actually moved to CO recently BUT things were very calm in Houston when I left. No rioting, no looting. Businesses aren’t having to be as strict when it comes to Covid.(They’ve been increasing their capacity limits) Less and less people were wearing their mask outside. (Still mandatory in businesses)

It’s a shame Austin has become such a liberal shithole, it’s really a nice city. Vibrant, lots of outdoor activities and great food. It’s only gotten bad within the last 4 years I’d say,
