With the voting and abortion laws in Texas.... in 22 Texas is turning blue

[vr]

These laws don’t restrict voting rights, they insure integrity and honesty in our elections.

[VlanVader]

Funny, the bill has nothing to do with restrictions 🤔

[mikeables]

I feel bad for all those folks whom can only vote once. It is so unfair!

[jayyou]

Thank you Texas for showing voters why WE THE PEOPLE must VOTE BLUE in 2022 and stop the far-right from turning America into nazi nation.

[isaacinkout]

I read a little bit of the voting laws and OMG. As a Mexican you liberals are so good at gaslighting. The bill is common sense and it is easy AF to vote.

[ericamiles]

You can still vote, so what's the problem?

[Alwaysgrim]

Voting makes a difference so they don't want us to do it .

[juanmilon]

It takes law to abolish fraud ! Something most should know except law breakers !

Gov. Abbott: “Election integrity is now law in the state of Texas”

[jamesriley]

wait what part of this law is restrictive?

[mauser]

You NEED IDENTIFICATION TO GET DEMOCRAT CONVENTION...WHY NOT TO VOTE 🙄

[mer]

Thank you Abbot! Expand voting and requires citizenship for voting!

[billclinton]

You cannot go anywhere around the white house without an I.D.

[jmlfa]

The US Constitution gives every US citizen the right to vote - once. It is up to the States to check if the voter is indeed a US citizen. Zimbabwe is better organized. God saved them from Democrats.

[jamesrlewin]

Governor with balls, who woulda thunk?

[mark-]

This is great. Show I.D. and vet every voter. This will help all the confusion.

[danilemockford]

Wouldn’t it be funny when they come up for re-election they are voted out. I wonder how quick they will change things back.

[JPI-ts]

“Texas governor signs new voting integrity safeguards into law”

[brnrone]

That's not voter restriction. I can't believe people eat this crap up.
