Hey,
On Super Tuesday in Texas, the last vote wasn’t cast until after 2 a.m. because of the long lines -- and that voter had to wait in line for 7 hours.
This is after the GOP-led Texas legislature closed over 750 polling stations since 2012 in precincts where black and Latinx voters were the fastest growing demographic. This is how they plan to win in November, too -- by silencing as many voters as they can and making it as difficult as possible to cast a ballot. The GOP has already been caught numerous times suppressing minority communities’ votes in North Carolina, Texas, and so many other states, but that won’t stop before November.
Texas Democrats are pushing back, though, saying they will register 2.6 million people, particularly people of color in rural and suburban areas, to expand the Democratic base and flip what was once a Republican bastion.
We need everyone with us if we’re going to defeat the GOP and their voter suppression. We’re up against the entire GOP-led, dark money-funded voter suppression machine -- we need to know now:
