texas republicans are getting their way for now which means texans are already struggling for voting access just ads the state gop designed in its new election laws which are so extreme the justice department sued over them. and now in just the past week, confusion over new i.d. requirements has led to to rejection of hundreds of vote-by-mail applications according to officials in travis county home to the state capital austin. my next guest, texas native taylor coleman putting her concerns into action why living out of harry van, to register voters across the state and expose impact of new voting restrictions and already face hurdles. texans must be certified as a deputy voter registrar to retch register but 240 have their own rules.
trying to get certified. i need to, like, register to take the course or can i just show up? you do need to register. even if i could go and take the course today, they don t have one until february. the deadline to vote for the march primary is february 1st. so it would be too late to register any voters for the primary and this county doesn t have any online courses available. you have to register beforehand. and also in the middle of a pandemic. thank you for that reminder there. taylor coleman joins me now. a democratic strategist and joining me from your van. hopefully better wi-fi than my car which i sometimes try to work out of. taylor, tell us as you see it what it is you are up against? oh, goodness. everyone, thank you so much for having me. i feel like what i m up against is, constantly changing.
