Texas House of Representatives passes sweeping election bill

Almost one day after Florida signed its own voting law, Texas House Republicans advanced legislation that would impose new voting restrictions in the state. Ed O'Keefe reports.

Each weekday morning, "CBS This Morning" co-hosts Gayle King, Anthony Mason and Tony Dokoupil deliver two hours of original reporting, breaking news and top-level newsmaker interviews in an engaging and informative format that challenges the norm in network morning news programs.

🇺🇸. The Texas House Democrats need to conform to respect and function by our Democratic Form of government as per the federal and state constitution. The people of America rule by their sacred vote. Texas House Democrats want to apply dictatorship communism form of government. They can not destroy democracy in Texas. 🇺🇸

I just took my daughter to get her voter registration card all she had to do was show her state identification card. How hard can that be?

So sad that you can’t win without all these tactics.

The USA is the easiest country to vote in. No other country allows what we allow here.

This is about party preservation...not voting fraud.

I live in Texas. About time we tighten up voting laws. I love it.

Voting fraud has been talked about for years hahaha 😂blaming Trump! How come Democrats had to verify all the signatures on Gavin Newsome for his recall? It's called double standards.

What's the problem with proving who you are? Usually most who dont get I.D.s have warrants, dont pay child support or multiple people claiming benefits at same address. And just because you say it's not real doesn't make not real.

[luntershaptopfukinov]

So, in other words, you’re going to need an ID to vote, like you’re mandated to have by democrats and Obamacare?

Voter security for all... not based on voter fraud claims.

We know it’s real. Still to this day, Georgia is under audit and so far 10, 000 people in Georgia voted illegally.

[USMC-Goforth]

I'm so glad over 10, 000 people showed up yesterday to protest Rep Sylvia Garcias house. She def. Will not be reelected, we will vote red.

[crissiemartin]

This is bull. As a proud Texans I can truly say it is EASY to vote

[aerodicus]

This bill should be nation wide, not just Texas.

[empressloveakamysteryofane]

Yes this matter is real, but not in only trump, but some governers, and mayors, also have
been placed in there positions, and have got a freeride in the polictical arena in many ways, from Katherine L Archuleta, because there is a clan of hers, that our in this field and also
congress, and what you, and all this as to do with the time of the Hacker problem, through OPM, because she didn't secure, nor respected her authorieity, at the time, and didn't secure
the system, of many millions of peoples, ;privacy, and this made our country worse, I see
because she has stolen my inheritance, and has Harrasment, they talk about it, on UTube,
and knowing, this lady is my real Biological Mother. sorry to say, but thruth, is real

This is why I laugh when people say America is greatest nation on Earth. Why would the greatest nation on Earth limit people’s right as human being?

[drme]

With their history, it's just pathetic
