The bill, which Texas lawmakers finalized drafting on Saturday morning and seems likely to soon become law, would cap voting hours, bar drive-thru voting, limit mail-in voting, and prevent local expansion of voting options, among other new restrictions.
“It’s wrong and un-American,” he continued. “In the 21st century, we should be making it easier, not harder, for every eligible voter to vote.” requires more counties to offer at least 12 hours of early voting each weekday of the last week of early voting, but sets a new window of 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. for voting. This would directly preempt Harris County’s 24-hour voting, which it planned to keep for future elections. It would also slightly shorten the extra hours other large counties offered in the last election by keeping their polling places open until 10 p.m. — three hours past the usual 7 p.m. closing time — for at least a few days.
One must show ID to board a plane. One must on demand show ID for a credit card transaction but showing ID to vote is un American according to Fool in Chief Biden. Astounding logic 101.
