Texas House braces for fight over GOP voting measure

Texas House braces for fight over GOP voting measure After a relatively quiet month, the political fight over GOP voting measures will resume in a big way Thursday when the Texas House begins debate on a sweeping bill that would create new election-related crimes, boost penalties for existing crimes and raise the profile of partisan poll watchers. House Bill 6, which has been waiting in the wings since early April, is among the first items of new business scheduled for House action, and both sides are preparing for a slugfest in which Republicans, as the majority, hold the upper hand. Democrats and civil rights groups are rallying opponents, arguing that HB 6 is a dangerous overreaction to the GOP-sponsored myth that the 2020 election was stolen from former President Donald Trump.

Show me your maps : 2021 Texas redistricting starts with less oversight, transparency concerns FacebookTwitterEmail Eric Gay, STF / AP With vital U.S. Census Bureau data delayed until September at the earliest, the once-in-a decade redrawing of Texas political maps is already off to a rocky start all while Texans have been increasingly vocal in demands for increased public access to mapmaking, a process that’s historically been closed to the public. Since January, Texans have signed up in droves to testify virtually in regional hearings held by the Senate’s Special Committee on Redistricting. A single hearing in March had over a hundred witnesses, ranging from high school students to retirees and spanning every major demographic group in the state.

Why Have Texas s Restrictive Voter Bills Received Less Corporate Pushback Than the Ones in Georgia? – Texas Monthly

Voters approach a polling location in Austin, on October 13, 2020. Sergio Flores/Getty Experts often cite a feeling of powerlessness as a common source of anger. And Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick was visibly angry at a news conference on April 6. He had lost control of the messaging on his “election integrity” bill days after it passed the Senate. A few corporate leaders in the state had come out against the legislation, widely viewed as aimed at making it more difficult for minorities to vote. They perhaps reminded Patrick of the hundreds of companies that had rallied against his 2017 anti-transgender bathroom bill and ultimately helped kill its passage in the House. With the pecan-wood blinds closed behind him so he would not be backlit for the television cameras lining his Capitol reception room, Patrick unleashed vitriol against the corporations and the news media that were describing his election overhaul legislation, Senate Bill 7, as voter suppression.
