By providing better voting opportunities than some states in the upper east coast?

Good. Absentee voting is a liability and needs to have careful controls to make sure the ballots go where they're supposed to, and that there's no malfeasance from the hands along the way. Proper "chain of custody".

False, they're letting poll watchers do their jobs and giving them the power to record any malfeasance they witness, thus taking the power from the poll intimidators that were throwing people out and locking people out during the last election.

Good. Drive-Thru voting isn't very secure, and poll workers have demonstrated in the past that they can't be trusted when no one is looking. Not even Wal-Mart is 24 hours anymore.

Good. And that should be a positive thing for democrats when they want to challenge results as well.

SUPER Good. Voter rolls should be purged bi-annually and require people to sign back up to keep the rolls constant, that way people's dead relatives can't vote, or some political zealot can't take ballots from a previous tenant and vote several times.

Good. Those aren't secure enough.

Good, it needs to be more secure.

All false.
1.) The bill states that voting places need to be open a MINIMUM of 9 hours a day in a 15 hours window from 6am to 9pm.
2.) In rural districts where there are less than 1000 people, the minimum requirement is 4 hours. Rural folks vote Republican. Why would Republicans write a bill to hurt their voter base?

Sunday voting hours were set from 1pm to 9pm. Perfect for going to church, having a Sunday Brunch, and then going out to vote.

Projecting. Democrats are afraid of secure elections because they can't cheat by stuffing ballots with dead people, illegal immigrants, and felons. It's the same race-baiting garbage as declaring that voter id is racist because black people either don't know how to, or cannot afford a driver's license or state ID.
Rather than do nothing, like liberals want to do with immigration, why not push for useful things to fix the issues?
- Make major election days state holidays
- Provide free state ID's or Driver's Licenses to those below the poverty line
The Europeans whom liberals like to emulate so much think our lack of voter laws are a joke.
And you can balk at "old white men" But the more tranny shit that keeps getting pushed by the left is going to push more conservative minorities such as latinos and blacks towards republicans.
Haven't you seen that there are DROVES of Venezuelans coming over the border into Texas every day? Who do you think they're gonna vote for? The socialism they just fled? Nah, they're smarter than Californians.
And when they don't vote the way liberals want them to, they'll be excluded from the "POC" label just like they did to Cubans after the election when the majority of them came out for Trump.
Conservatism propagates through family values. Leftism propagates like vampirism, except it's pedophiles preying on the young.
Gop civil war in Texas now lol
