If somebody cannot read how can they vote?
I love how greg abbott actually thinks that drive thru voting is less secure because of "coercive passengers", is there no floor for the level of idiocy current republicans are willing to sink to promoting their election lies? I mean why not require people to also turn off the radio in their cars so they won't be tempted by the evil dj who might change their vote? Oh the nonsensical fear mongering is strong with republicans.
I can't believe that when they try to make a law to make the elections secure and use voter ID and common Sense measures to prevent fraud there's a big deal made out of it of course it's democrats so you got to expect that don't want to cheat themselves into wearing the next four or five elections
Next time you clowns want to secede, try harder.
Ballots DO need ID protection for an honest fight.. I'm a Democrat from Cali. I've always voted with an ID since Bush#2. Do people really vote without an ID? How? I never knew people could vote without being verified.
Ya, this isn't controversial, I don't think you guys know what the definition is. Smh the news outlets have become political machines, it's disturbing
That Texas governor just needs a white hood !!! Voter suppression needs to stop
Remember when the republicans claimed we were bringing democracy to the world. Wouldn't it be nice if they kept it alive here instead of tearing it to shreds.
So, It's racist to ask for ID every two years.
But demanding we carry a f**king Vax Passport is fine?
So requiring ID is racist…? Are minorities too stupid to obtain ID? I don’t think so. Drive thru voting….seriously? Voting and registering the same day with no ID? Yeah, don’t think so. As usual the dems are looking for a slippery way to win ALL elections by promising free stuff to anyone/everyone and having non citizens voting for them…tired of the bs…my tax dollars are spent..like for the next 100 yrs. ID should be required for voting and if by chance you ARE too stupid to get an ID maybe you really shouldn’t be voting….
Does anyone know anything about this law and what it's about? I've been trying to find an overview of what the bill actually says, but I keep finding stories on how controversial it is.
Republicans are shady little cheaters who want to block Americans from voting
Sehr gut. Demokratie darf nicht ausgehebelt werden von Trump. Dumpus ist nur ein Facistische Schwein. Schick ihm ins Gefängnis.
Gop 🤮🤮🤮
Proof of identity is needed for the Covid vaccine. Anybody see a problem with that. Crickets🦗🦗🦗
I am a black man in Texas. Noting in this bill restricts my right or ability to vote. Anyone telling you differently has an alternate agenda.
See abbott wants to cut off law makers check see how crooked he is vote him out
Suppressing public opinion is straight out of the North Korea play book, chalk 1 up for the Texas GOP on how to make America better …
The Democrats need to realize they are not dealing with a “loyal opposition “ but with a party corrupted into a disloyal traitorous party which will destroy our democratic republic! They need to stand up and vigorously demand that all these state rights voting bills go where they belong! Into the garbage with the states rights discrimination laws and the states rights secessionist movement of the civil war!
And we need a real party or parties preferably to have a real honest intelligent discussion on the future of this country! The Republican party of today has no right or moral standing to take part on that discussion! Not as long as they are anti freedom Trumpites or his anti democratic pro oligarchy supporters! Republicans wake up!!!
Democrats are scum.
In the name of jesus their not gonna suppress it's already done in in jesus mighty name what ever they try the Republicans to pass crooked Bill's gonna fail
We all that are alive, legal and part of this country should!!! NOT THE DEAD OR ILLEGALS PLUS BECAUSE OF WHAT BIDEN ADMITS!!!! Shared on Facebook and Instagram days leading up to the 2020 U.S. general election, posts show a clip of Joe Biden saying, “We have put together I think the most extensive and inclusive voter fraud organization in the history of American politics.â€Â

How is it restrictive to require a valid ID to vote?? Read the bill, y’all! Its absolutely ridiculous to use black people as an excuse to cheat during elections and the majority of people know it!!
WHY dont they print out a reciept with a barcode when we vote? so we can prove we voted like we prove we made a purchase? because its fixed. they dont want you all to have proof. that can be counted. anyone that wishes for it to be EASY to commit fraud, easy to vote, without an id? really? is a criminal. why do cops ask for your id? what happens when someone else has your id? this has been going on far too long.
What will the Texas Dictator try next?
