If the Texas GOP's war on voting rights wasn't bad enough, it just got worse. 

Friend, thanks to new Republican anti-voting legislation, Texas is shutting down the Harris County election office – the largest election office in the state.

Instead of working to appeal to a broad coalition of Texans, extremists are making it harder to vote and trying to drown out the voices of our neighbors. 

That means to defeat Ted Cruz and help as many Texans as possible cast a ballot, we're going to have to work even harder. So, that's why we're asking: Can you give now to help raise $50,000 to power Colin's fight to retire Ted Cruz? Every dollar counts →

Friend, the Texas GOP has been cracking down on voting rights for years. From some of the harshest voter ID laws in the country to shutting down polling locations, they won't stop until the only voters are the ones that will keep them in power.

Shutting down the Harris County election office is just another attempt to dilute the votes of any Texan who disagrees with their increasingly out-of-touch platform – and we can't let them get away with it. 

Colin is ready to fight back against anti-voting extremists like Ted Cruz, and right now, they're neck and neck in the polls. But in the face of the GOP's latest trick, he needs the support of this team before tonight's midnight fundraising deadline:

Friend, can you give $5, $25, or whatever you're able to support Colin's campaign to defeat Ted Cruz? Your grassroots support brings us one step closer to a Texas where every voter has a voice →
