I am so very proud of the hell the #txlege voting rights movement gave the vote suppressors the last 8 months. Despite controlling all levers of govt, it took the suppressors that long to finally pass their bill, and we forced them to make some changes to make it less harmful.
We stopped poll watchers being able to videotape voters; judges being able to easily overturn elections; a ban on Souls to the Polls; poll watchers getting to commit one free election crime; and a racist new formula for distributing polling places.
