12. UPDATE: The @NAACP_LDF says SB7, Texas' voter suppression bill, violates the legislature's rules because it includes "out-of-bounds" provisions that were not included in either chambers bill. https://t.co/B9OKrryfj0 — PolitiTweet.org

11. I think this provision about "too many registered voters" should be read along with the provision allowing judges to overturn the election It opens the possibility to judges overturning the election based on flawed data on how many voters were eligible to vote — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
10. Since the number of voters in a given county who are eligible is constantly changing, right-wing groups like to point to counties with "too many registered voters" as "proof" of voter fraud Under the bill, this can be used to force counties to engage in voter purges etc — PolitiTweet.org

@CVSHealth @UPS @Centene @Walmart @Deloitte @Phillips66Co @BankofAmerica @united @DowNewsroom 9. This is another NEW PROVISION of the law straight from the right-wing fever swamp. It requires the Texas Secretary of State to ensure no county has more registered voters than people eligible to vote. This is a favorite tactic of far-right orgs alleging voter fraud https://t.co/1uyjBnhMLL — PolitiTweet.org

4. The final bill text also: Bans drive-thru voting and voting after 9PM (used disproportionately by voters of color in Harris County) Bans voting on Sundays before 1PM (Souls to the polls) Makes it more difficult for people with disabilities to vote by mail — PolitiTweet.org

2. This section appears to validate Trump's claims that he won various states because a certain number of people voted "illegally" without any other details Now people like Guiliani can take these absurd allegations to court and, with a sympathetic judge, OVERTURN AN ELECTION — PolitiTweet.org

The purpose of this poll was to illustrate that although there is a lot of online discussion of CRT, it's fairly disconnected from the actual substance of CRT — PolitiTweet.org

The process gives away the game. This isn’t how you pass something you think is “good policy” It is how you pass discriminatory voting restrictions based on lies. — PolitiTweet.org

Republicans in Texas have until Sunday at midnight to pass their voter suppression bill or the bill dies. The details are currently being negotiated in secret. Plan is clearly to keep the text under wraps as long as possible, then pass it quickly over Memorial Day Weekend. — PolitiTweet.org

For many people in the United States life is returning to something much closer to normal and that is awesome but there are still 500+ people dying per day and it's especially tragic because virtually all of these deaths are preventable because we have very effective vaccines — PolitiTweet.org
