I m pretty old school…the way to run elections is with Election Day and paper ballots made available only to people who show up at the polls with valid photo ID…IMHO.
But the country has gotten bigger and those days are long gone…17 days of early voting seems like a lot to me. It’s certainly plenty of opportunity for everyone to vote.
Fox has a good article about what’s actually in the bill in Texas…not the Biden hyperbolic lie fest…
“ Under Senate Bill 1’s provisions, a ban would be implemented on drive-thru voting or casting a ballot from inside a vehicle unless participating in curbside voting due to a disability. A ban would also be placed on overnight voting, requiring polls to be open a minimum of nine hours from between 6 a.m. and 9 p.m.
Election officials would also be required to install a video surveillance system that records vote-counting activities, with a livestream made available to the public in counties with 100,000 residents or more. Those in large counties would also be required to install tracking software to monitor “all input and activity” on electronic devices used to count votes. Beginning January 1, 2024, equipment that does not disable or remove any wireless connectivity capability would be prohibited from use in tabulating votes.
SB 1 would also allow partisan poll watchers to observe election activity inside polling places and vote-counting centers as well as during curbside voting that takes place inside a vehicle. It would also make it a crime to deny access to a poll watcher.
In addition, voters would be required to include a driver’s license number or the last four digits of a Social Security number on a vote-by-mail application and the envelope containing their ballot. Individuals who help voters cast their ballot, due to language or physical needs, must fill out a document listing their name, address, relationship to the voter, and whether they’re being paid by a candidate or political committee. Those who drive three or more people to the polls would also be required to fill out a similar form unless all vehicle occupants are family members.
The secretary of state will also be required to work with the Department of Public Safety to provide data on a monthly basis from the existing statewide computerized voter registration list to be used for verification of citizenship status on voter registration applications.” Here's what is actually in the Texas election bills Democrats keep comparing to Jim Crow | Fox News
If you would like to actually read the Texas bill here it is…I defy anyone who’s not a left wing hack to find any Jim Crow era partisanship worthy of claiming this kind of legislation rises to the level of the greatest threat to our Republic since the Civil War.
These lunatic Democrats from Texas are going to have trouble staying relevant in the news cycle past today or tomorrow…they are well on their way to just looking like a bunch of attention seeking clowns.
That clown we have living in the White House is quickly becoming the biggest presidential farce at least in our lifetimes if not beyond.
