GOP leaders across the country have flip-flopped on voting drive-thrus and online voting leaving Texas's Republican leaders where?
GOP leaders are now asking their voter base to early-vote and drop their ballots off in ballot boxes — all voting methods they previously claimed threatened voter security.In a move that contradicts their prior stance, Republican lawmakers – including former president Donald Trump – are calling on GOP voters to vote early in-person or cast their ballots by mail in the upcoming 2024 election cycle.
Although the regular legislative session is over, more bills further restricting election processes may be reconsidered in the Legislature as Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick asked Governor Greg Abbott for several election-security related bills be added to a special session agenda. Stein said the Republican Party essentially “killed the goose that laid the golden egg” once it started considering anything that made voting easier a form of “voting fraud,” as early voting and many of these measures started in the Republican Party before they were embraced by Democratic voters.
Because these issues occurred, many Republican challengers who lost their races against their Democratic counterparts filed election contests under claims that these were intentional efforts to create voter fraud, Stein said. All these measures to restrict the accessibility to voting, contrasts what out-of-state Republican leaders are asking for to increase Republican voter turn-out to win future elections.
