Voter suppression bill #SB7 will make voting by mail more difficult and daunting due to new eligibility and documentation requirements.
Voter suppression bill #SB7 will restrict polling hours and eliminate drive-through and 24-hour voting, which were disproportionately used by voters of color and voters with disabilities in the 2020 election.
Voter suppression bill #SB7 will make it harder to help voters who need assistance casting their ballot or getting to the polls.
Voter suppression bill #SB7 will add and expand criminal penalties to the election code — opening up voters and election workers to jail time — and empower partisan poll watchers to intimidate voters.
Voter suppression bill #SB7 will make it easier for politicians to overturn an election.
Yet again, instead of fixing the electrical grid or providing pandemic relief, political leaders at #txlege are punishing their constituents.
We’ll continue to hold these legislators accountable.
