Last week saw more chaos at the Capitol over " election integrity," once again courtesy of the House's least favorite chairman, Rep. Briscoe Cain, R-Deer Park, who clumsily managed to get Senate Bill 7 through his Elections Committee on April 29 after an acrimonious daylong struggle. His strategy was to substitute his own House Bill 6, whose own hearings he had bungled two weeks earlier, for SB 7, without giving any prior notice to his committee members or those slated to testify. He's probably seen less inept chairs do similar things, but HB 6 and SB 7 are quite different, though both seek to tighten access to the polls. HB 6 requires voters who need assistance to disclose why, beefs up protections for partisan poll watchers, and restricts mail-in voting, while SB 7 focuses on early voting hours and the powers of local election administrators.
