xp1337 05/30/21 12:41:07 AM #105:	Texas joining the race for most atrocious voter suppression bill: https://twitter.com/LinaHidalgoTX/status/1398700044036063243 https://twitter.com/marceelias/status/1398792032311726084 https://www.texastribune.org/2021/05/29/texas-voting-restrictions-bill/ Makes it easier to overturn an election. You simply need alleged fraud and the election challenger no longer needs to show that fraudulent votes resulted in changing the outcome. Allows partisan poll watchers "free movement" in a polling place and makes it a crime for the poll workers to interfere. Ends Souls to the Polls by prohibiting voting on Sundays... before 1 PM. Ends drive-thru and 24-hour voting, which had been disproportionately used by minorities Restricts vote-by-mail Makes voter registration harder when TX was already one of the more difficult states Makes it harder for people with disabilities to qualify for vote-by-mail. It had been that you qualified if there existed the "likelihood of needing personal assistance or of injuring the voter's health" but apparently that was too lenient and they turned it into only allowing it if a voter is "not capable" of voting in-person Texas House and Senate had passed different voter suppression laws. They went into closed-door conference and came out with this - which went beyond what either of the original bills had had. It's also being rushed through like crazy. They came out with this this morning and didn't tell the democrats on the committee or let them see the formal draft of the bill at first. Text only went public today. TX GOP Sponsor literally holds a backdoor meeting without cameras to brief his caucus on it and they're trying to ram it through tonight. Kicked out one of the only reporters from the area and access to electricity for his laptop all so they can ram this through in the middle of the night on a holiday weekend when no one is paying attention. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? <cite>xp1337 posted [p:954448021] in Politics C...
