Earlier this month, Texas Republicans tried to ram through SB7 — one of the most restrictive voter suppression bills in the country. It would have even allowed judges to overturn elections without sufficient evidence of fraud.
Texas Democrats successfully blocked the bill from passing, but Greg Abbott and Texas Republicans haven’t given up on trying to suppress the vote. Next week, in a special session, Texas Republicans are going to try to push SB7 again.
With your support, Texas Democrats were able to block Republican attempts to suppress the vote. But now we need your support once again. Greg Abbott is determined to pass this bill and keep Republicans in power — but with an overwhelming response, we can defeat this bill again.
It’s time we defeat and remove corrupt self-serving politicians who are trying to rig the rules to stay in office. We MUST protect voting rights and our elections in Texas. I hope you’ll join us.
Thank you,
