The Texas Legislature sent a sweeping Republican-backed election bill to Governor Greg Abbott's desk, ending a months-long standoff with Democrats who say it will restrict voting access. CBS News political reporter Adam Brewster joins "CBSN AM" to talk about his reporting.

2 term mayor Marion Barry: I cant figure how voting the right way disinfranchises minorities

85% of Americans want voter ID a valid ID and citizenship when voting. Msmr continuing to lie to the people we are so much smarter than you

How does an Admin push trillions in new budgets, claiming equity and equality... yet cannot seem to figure out to put some of that money towards IDs?

It is a piece of paper with a photo on it. The most advanced country on the planet, cannot figure out how to get pieces of paper to people who cant afford them?

It is so simple to get an ID, it amazes me that this is the hold up lol.

Valid ID is a must. You need one for a loan, to rent an apartment, to drive, to buy alcohol, tobacco, etc etc. It's ridiculous that it isn't required to vote!

I.D. needed to cash a check, open a checking account, get social security, get welfare benefits, to get a government phone so you cannot tell me that there are people out there with no I.D.

Now hopefully other states will adopt common sense voting reform.

If everyone who committed a crime and claimed they didn't know it was a crime was let go, then no one would ever be put in jail

[misterrees]

Yes one-two punch knockout winning winning send us some texas!

[johnrobinson]

I love how they say no significant fraud 😂🤣 my house has never been broken into therefore under their theories I don't need a front door or a lock I'll install it after someone steals my stuff 🤔🤣

[isaacinkout]

If you actually look at the bill it’s really common sense.

*I don't know who needs to hear this but stop saving all your money, invest some of it if you really want financial freedom*

[AndyPunisherbass]

You have to have an ID for just about everything in your adult life. I am waiting for someone to explain to me how it’s racist to require an ID vote and not just say, “Cause racism!”

God bless the Great State of Texas! It's payback time, Demaquacks.

[jaloux]

Good job Texas!
Vetting out the non-eligible and ballot harvesters.

Did the legislation require the courts / prison system to notify election officials of persons not eligible to vote? What part of Provisional in provisional ballot do they not understand? Does the coroner notify the elections department or does the state allow dead people to vote?
