  Fort Bend County Judge KP George cited the silence of Greater Houston Partnership (GHP) on what he called âvoter suppressionâ bills âreminiscent of Jim Crow era tacticsâ â Texas House Bill 6 and Senate Bill 7 â in the Texas Legislature as the reason the county will not become a dues-paying member of the organization.Â
The Texas House passed Senate Bill 7 last Friday, which would limit some voting expansions utilized during the COVID-19 pandemic such as drive-through voting.Â
