Republicans insist this is not in response to Trump's claims of voter fraud.
They say the bill will enhance the confidence that the last election was fair.
Where the fck did the notion that the last election was unfair get started?
This is just like a Neanderthal method of saying Texas is going blue and the only way to stop it, is to stop the blue team from voting.
passed the Senate early this morning, becomes law later today if the House can pass it
They need to stop a State trying to crush democracy... States rights my ass, Texas is run by political thugs.
https://www.kvue.com/article/news/po...5-fd2ae01728d7In the course of several hours Saturday and early Sunday, Senate Republicans hurtled to move forward on a sweeping voting bill negotiated behind closed doors where it doubled in length and grew to include voting law changes that weren’t previously considered.
Over Democrats’ objections, they suspended the chamber’s own rules to narrow the window lawmakers had to review the new massive piece of legislation before giving it final approval ahead of the end of Monday's end to the legislative session. This culminated in an overnight debate and party line vote early Sunday to sign off on a raft of new voting restrictions and changes to elections and get it one step closer to the governor’s desk.
Senate Bill 7, the GOP’s priority voting bill, emerged Saturday from a conference committee as an expansive bill that would touch nearly the entire voting process, including provisions to limit early voting hours, curtail local voting options and further tighten voting-by-mail, among several other provisions. It was negotiated behind closed doors over the last week after the House and Senate passed significantly different versions of the legislation and pulled from each chamber’s version of the bill. The bill also came back with a series of additional voting rule changes, including a new ID requirement for mail-in ballots, that weren’t part of previous debates on the bill.
But instead of giving senators the 24 hours required under the chamber’s rules to go over the committee’s report, including those new additions, state Sen. Bryan Hughes, R-Mineola, moved to ignore that mandate so the Senate could debate and eventually vote on the final version of the bill just hours after it was filed.
House debate starts.
Pretty sure it has to pass by the end of the day, gonna check that.
watch live here
vote deadline is midnight

In your opinion can the blue team stop this ?
My guess is, is if it starts to look like Dems will run out the clock, the GOP will break the rules again to ram it through just like they did last night.
here's the text of the bill

I cant keep up with all this maneuvering.
I guess the bottom line is if you are in the majority in Texas, you can get almost anything done, it just depends on the lengths you will go to if the minority pushes you. The blue team needs to push this as hard as they can to make sure they can involve the DOJ fully I guess.
