The voter suppression law approved last night in the Texas house is built on a pernicious lie that corrodes our democracy by pushing the falsehood that widespread voter fraud exists in TX. Each time this lie is told and policies are passed based on it, our democracy is weakened.
I want to acknowledge the lawmakers that fought all night, and made some headway, to temper some of the most dangerous provisions in this bill.
Most importantly, the passage of this bill has once again made it mainstream in Texas for laws to be written that make voting more difficult. This is a dangerous path for Texas to travel.
The fight is not over. This bill still has to cross more hurdles before it becomes law. Companies, individuals, and leaders, please join us and stand up for the integrity of our democracy.
