Just a few weeks ago, the State of Georgia passed a bill that many believe will suppress voters. Today, Texas’ state Senate has approved a voter intimidation bill that bans drive-thru voting, restricts expanded early voting hours, and makes it unconstitutional for local election authorities to give residents vote-by-mail applications, except though they apply.
The bill is currently making its way to Texas’ Republican-controlled House of Representatives.
Meanwhile, religious groups in Georgia are pushing for a boycott of businesses that have failed to speak out against the state’s new voter intimidation legislation, which Republican Governor Brian Kemp signed last week.
