The out-of-control Texas Democrats proved that they can be annoying, disgusting, costing Texas a lot of money, and Spread the new coronavirus When they fled to Washington, DC to avoid reaching a quorum in the Texas House of Representatives to prevent voting on the Election Integrity Act. The purpose of the bill is to establish voter identification rules and tighten the rules for mail voting.
Democrats tried to describe the bill as “racist”-although it is impossible to cite a person who was banned from voting because of race. All these are just propaganda efforts.The Democrats showed how hypocritical all this is They let one of their members obstruct the motion In the Texas State Senate, at the same time, the United States Senate’s obstruction bill was considered “racist” and should be cancelled. That was unsuccessful, and the bill passed in the Senate.
But in the end, the out-of-control Democrats were betrayed by their own members, and they came back and eventually established a quorum. 121 members attended yesterday.The House of Representatives passed a Slightly modified version In the Senate bill, 80-41.
Therefore, now that the bill returns to the Texas Senate, the Senate will accept the changes in the House of Representatives or resolve differences in the Conference Committee. They may pass it sometime next week.
Texas Governor Greg Abbott said he looks forward to signing it into law and making the process “fair and uniform.”
Today, the House of Representatives is debating the issue of election integrity.
This legislation will make our election process fair and uniform.
thanks @SenBryanHughes & Rep. Murr strives to make voting easier and harder to cheat.
I look forward to signing the bill into law.

As Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-TX) explained In a Twitter post, These regulations are direct election protection:
Paid collection of ballots is prohibited, that is, the practice of collecting and submitting complete absentee or mail-in voter ballots by third-party individuals, volunteers, or political party staff, instead of submitting them directly to the ballot collection location by the voters themselves.
Voter identity verification is required for mailed ballots to meet the requirements for in-person voting.
Set a uniform voting time for early voting to reduce confusion and extend weekend time. This solves the different voting times in different counties that confuse voters.
Ensure voting accountability by allowing voting observers to observe election staff, increasing transparency and confidence in the results. Strengthen the ban on unmanned mailing of drop boxes, and prohibit public officials from actively distributing applications for mailed ballots.
Develop a unified procedure to verify the authenticity of mailed ballots, and at the same time give voters the opportunity to correct errors when they are found.
People who assist voters in filling out ballots are required to fill out forms to verify their identity and swear that they will not try to influence voters in any way.
End temporary emergency measures implemented only due to the pandemic, such as drive-through voting and 24-hour early voting. These options never existed before the pandemic, although the Democratic Party wants you to believe that we are ending long-standing practices.
How about that racist? This is something the Democratic Party cannot explain. They just claimed that it was “voter suppression.” When they did not vote before the pandemic, was this voter suppression? If they also extend the early voting time—this is what the bill does—is this also “voter suppression”?
The Democrats cried, accused their compatriots and talked nonsense because they had been trying to undermine the quorum.
Thirty Democrats said in a joint statement on Friday: “We are disappointed that a few Democrats have chosen to return to the game.” “We feel betrayed and heartbroken, but we are determined to fight this battle. it’s not finished yet.”
They even tried to claim that the number was wrong and that the Republicans were lying.
Yes, the battle is over, they are painful losers-and everything else they have shown.
The criticism reminded that the stunts of the Tik Tok Texans were stupid and did nothing but spread the Delta variant in Washington.
Congratulations to the Texas Legislature for passing a great election integrity bill, albeit dramatic and dramatic. https://t.co/X7X0s8xjX4
