**BREAKING: Texas Elders Frightened by Mail-In Ballot QR Code, Mistake It for “Teen Satanic Vape Ritual” – Hilarity Ensues**

AITA for laughing at the fact that Texas just accidentally elected a 400-lb armadillo named “Bubba” as the state comptroller? Because I’m pretty sure that’s what happened. 🦥💸

In the most shocking election result since “let’s pretend our power grid works,” Texas voters showed up, squinted at the ballot, and somehow elected a literal tumbleweed to the school board. The twist? The tumbleweed got more votes than the incumbent, proving once and for all that “less government” means “less than a pile of dead weeds.”

**TL;DR:** Texas election results are in. Voters confused mail-in ballot QR codes for QR code menu at Chili’s. Also, someone named “Cletus” won a county judge seat by promising to “build a bigger wall, but out of used tires and spite.” The winner’s official campaign slogan? “Keep Austin Weird, But the Rest of Us Can Be Whatever.” 🥴

Honestly, this is peak democracy. We’re so back.
