Abbott and the GOP are trying to restrict our right to vote. BOOT TEXAS REPUBLICANS.

 

David, Governor Greg Abbott is leading a draconian, nationwide effort by Republicans to restrict voting rights and we need your help to fight back. This week, after already making voting legislation an emergency issue, Abbott indicated he will back legislation in the Texas statehouse to outlaw election measures like those used in Harris County during the 2020 election aimed at expanding safe access to the ballot box during the coronavirus pandemic. It’s not news to us that Abbott wants to suppress voter turnout in Texas, but this fight is heating up and we need to respond. Add your name to our petition calling on the Texas legislature to vote down this ridiculous attempt to make it harder for Texans to make their voices heard. The bill Abbott is championing would make it much harder for Texans with disabilities to vote by mail, eliminate drive-through voting, cut early voting hours, threaten election officials with fines if they don’t purge voter rolls, and more. It’s a Frankenstein bill of the worst attempts around the country to restrict access to the ballot box -- and it has nothing to do with the alleged “voter fraud.” Abbott and the Texas GOP know exactly what they’re doing. They’re perpetuating Donald Trump’s big lie about the 2020 election while attempting to pave the way for voter suppression in the 2022 elections and beyond. He can see the writing on the wall and will do whatever it takes to steal elections from Democrats in the coming years. Any attempt by legislators or leaders to make it harder to vote -- to make it harder to engage in our democracy -- should be strongly rejected. We must do all we can to stop Abbott and the Texas GOP from turning this bill into law. Thank you, Boot Texas Republicans DONATE »
