🚨BREAKING: Federal court STRIKES DOWN strict residency requirements for voter registration contained in Texas voter suppression law #SB1111, finding that they violate the U.S. Constitution. More info to come. democracydocket.com/cases/texas-re…
The 2021 law prohibited establishing residence “for the purpose of influencing the outcome of a certain election,” added strict voter ID requirements for voters that use P.O. boxes to register to vote and more.
Texas State @LULAC and @votolatino filed a lawsuit challenging that the law violated the 1st, 14th and 26th Amendments of the U.S. Constitution.
"The burden imposed [by SB 1111] is 'severe,' if not insurmountable. Such an insurmountable burden is not easily overcome. Certainly not by Texas's stated interest in ensuring Texans only have one residence. Instead the law renders some Texans without any residence [to vote]."
