Tonight #txlege is expected to send an expansive set of voting reforms to @GregAbbott_TX’s desk. #SB1 claims that fraud is undermining public confidence in elections – in reality, #SB1 itself is a threat to the foundation of our democracy.  My thoughts here 👇 (1/9) #SB1 bans drop boxes & 24-hour, drive-through, and curbside voting – all positive, accessible voting options made available by @HarrisVotes in 2020. Harris County (incl. Houston) has ~2x the Black population as Texas generally. What a crazy coincidence 🙄 (2/9)

We should expect to see more talking head recommendations for how to alter the #voting process to address #coronavirus concerns. Voting by mail is going be a part of the solution.

Here's why I don't think it can be the whole solution for the #2020election

THREAD: States should move to allow more voting by mail independent of recent developments. The @BPC_Bipartisan Task Force on #Elections recommends just that. We support moves by our friends at @voteathome to ensure all Americans have the option to vote by mail
