Texas Republicans are rolling out a slew of restrictive election bills, taking particular aim at early voting after Democrats enthusiastically embraced the practice last year. nbcnews.to/2PYoQUy
More than two dozen GOP-sponsored elections bills are under consideration in the Legislature as lawmakers seek to tighten ID requirements and voter rolls, limit early voting and up the penalties for errors.
Two Senate bills propose barring tents and garages for early voting, potentially targeting Harris Co.'s drive-thru early voting, which occurred in tents and garages. Republicans repeatedly sued over drive-thru voting last fall, but courts refused to toss out the 127,000+ ballots.

A Navy man with top-secret clearance, a disabled Latino man, and a California legislator are challenging housing algorithms, as tenant screening software faces a national reckoning. nbcnews.to/38GERoB
(1/11) #NBCNewsThreads
Marco Antonio Fernandez was searching for an apartment in 2018 after a yearlong Navy deployment.
With a top-secret clearance, he had little worry about tenant screening. But he was denied, after software confused him with an alleged drug trafficker with 3 misdemeanors. (2/11)
Fernandez sued screening firm RentGrow in 2019. More recently, he sued CoreLogic Credco, a division of a property analytics firm, in federal court.

He says they violated the Fair Credit Reporting Act, which allows consumers to challenge data held by private companies. (3/11)
