Friend, have you heard about what just happened in Texas?
Extremist Republican Governor Greg Abbott just signed one of the most restrictive voting bills into law that potentially disenfranchises thousands of Texans.
This new law bans 24-hour and drive-through voting, and opens up polling places to partisan poll watchers. These restrictions serve no purpose other than making it harder for millions of Texans to vote.
This is a power grab by Texas Republicans, and we need to stop them.
Two lawsuits to overturn this law have already been filed, and indicted Republican Texas AG Ken Paxton will defend this law in both cases. If we had a Dem AG in office, we could have a democracy defender fighting for Texans instead of a far-right, pro-Trump extremist dead-set on keeping power in Republicans hands. And that’s why we need you, friend.
Democratic Attorneys General across the country play a critical role in preventing these sorts of voter suppression bills. Here are just a few things they’ve done in the past few months to protect the right to vote:
Joined President Biden’s Department of Justice in their lawsuit against Georgia’s voter suppression law
Sued to expand the number of polling locations in local elections – and won
Demanded Trump’s postmaster general Louis DeJoy stop his continued attempts to delay the mail, including mail-in-ballots
Worked with state legislatures to expand the right to vote in states across the country
Fought in court to prevent voters from being removed from voting rolls – and won
We can elect more Dem AGs who will build and strengthen our democracy, but we need your help now to invest in and win these races.
