The Texas legislature is voting tomorrow on SB 7, a dangerous bill set to restrict voting rights for

Black and brown voters, voters with disabilities, and working Texans.

If SB 7 passes through the Texas legislature, there is no doubt that Governor Abbott will sign it into law – and Texans across our great state will have to face even more barriers to the ballot box. SB 7 would make it a state jail felony for local election officials to distribute an application to vote by mail to a voter who didn’t request one, as well as set up new rules for people assisting voters who need help voting, such as those with disabilities or who don’t speak English.

We are the last defense to stop this rampant act of voter suppression from passing.

That's likely to be available on the electronic voting machines as an early choice.

Wingnuts just are desperate to get around their FUTURE, INEVITABLE minority in pure voting, are grasping at straws to stave it off by gimmicks. The SMELL of DESPERATION. In the long game their POLICIES cannot attract VOTES.
