this is about voter integrity. i would be astonished if a law like this not challenged in court. we see a law happens when ever a law like this passed. no one is eligible to vote would be denied the opportunity to vote. the law disproportionately affect people of color. the governor signs the law mostly surrounded by white men, surprise, surprise. s the this is the same law texas democrats fled the state to try to block. the law also limits local control over control over elections and limits voting assistance such as helping able people to vote. widespread voter fraud does not exist. even trump administration found no fraud in the 2020 election. this is part of donald trump s big lie use to justify voter suppression. all this creating unequal americas when it comes to voting rights. this year, at least 18 states enacted 30 different laws restricting access to the ballot box. tonight there is growing pressure on democrats to act on the federal level. joining me now is con
