Beto O'Rourke in El Paso on his way to becoming a Volunteer Deputy Registrar
The Republican leadership of Texas state government continue their drive for an overhaul on Texas elections that will make being able to vote more difficult for many. The lawmakers behind the bills say this is necessary because the state needs greater election security against voter fraud. Voting rights activists say that’s a sham and the real reason is to suppress the voting in communities more likely to vote for Democrats.
This week Texas Lt. Governor Dan Patrick a Republican condemned those who oppose these so-called voter security bills.
