Dear God. Did you hear what Texas Gov. Greg Abbott just did? Because CNN heard about it and they seem pretty out-of-breath over it:
JUST IN: Texas Republican Gov. Greg Abbott has signed into law a bill that bans 24-hour and drive-thru voting, imposes new hurdles on mail-in ballots and empowers partisan poll watchers. https://t.co/sxZmlZJvvc
— CNN (@CNN) September 7, 2021
Dear God. Texas is a waking nightmare:
▪︎ Bans 24-hour and drive-thru voting
▪︎ New vote-by-mail ID mandates
▪︎ Bans officials from mailing unsolicited mail-in ballot applications
▪︎ Empowers poll watchers
▪︎ New requirements for assisting voters
▪︎ Monthly voter roll checks https://t.co/BhfZ6Q3fTa— CNN (@CNN) September 7, 2021
Oh, the humanity!

CNN is clearly terrified by this development … aren’t you?
So what's the problem? https://t.co/MgJSpwW9Ri

I don’t really know how these are controversial

I'm reading this and I'm not seeing literal Jim Eagle here.

Maybe you’re not looking hard enough. Let’s look again:
▪︎ Bans 24-hour and drive-thru voting
▪︎ New vote-by-mail ID mandates
▪︎ Bans officials from mailing unsolicited mail-in ballot applications
▪︎ Empowers poll watchers
▪︎ New requirements for assisting voters
▪︎ Monthly voter roll checks https://t.co/BhfZ6Q3fTa— CNN (@CNN) September 7, 2021

You know, come to think of it, we’re not really seeing what’s so scary about the voting law. Could it be that CNN is just fearmongering?
That’s exactly what it could be. That’s exactly what it is.
Many states require you to request mail in ballots including Delaware. I didn’t realize so many people were voting between the house of 10pm and 6am? Who knew requiring some sort of identification was so controversial. You walk into a bank they ask for id. At the airport etc.

All these sound like Texas wants to make sure the integrity of their elections are high and can be trusted.

Election integrity is a good thing, CNN.
You say all this like it's a bad thing.

Right? “Voting restrictions bill” sounds a lot scarier than “election integrity bill,” but reality’s not scary. Join us in reality, CNN, won’t you?
Seems reasonable to me

Excellent. More of this.
Democrats have eroded faith in our elections enough. It's time to fight back. https://t.co/W7tIq6rXSR

Do you want fair elections, CNN, or don’t you?
The only flaw I see with the Texas law is that it doesn't raise the voting age to 35.

Heh. Baby steps.
