AUSTIN, Texas — Opponents of a sweeping Republican elections overhaul in Texas sued Gov. Greg Abbott on Friday, going to court even before he had signed into law changes that would further tighten the state’s already strict voting rules. after Democrats ended months of protests over changes that include new limits on voting hours and criminal penalties for obstructing partisan poll watchers.The challenges were brought by a broad coalition of voting rights groups, including the American Civil Liberties Union, disability and minority rights organizations, and the elections administrator for Harris County, which includes Houston and was particularly targeted by the measure.

Republicans say the bill provides safeguards against voter fraud. They also point out that it would increase the minimum number of hours during early voting and expand the number of counties where polls would have to stay open for 12 hours.

How about a law that states 'Cripples can't Vote'!!!

A grande tribulação se aproxima vamos nos arrepender e volta para o Senhor Jesus.

BS. Prove this to be true.

Bollocks, your opening salvo is untrue ...there are no 'election limits' as long as you are an citizen .The last Election,was totally broken by the DNC machine with the drop box hoax . Millions of illegal votes counted and Leftist MSM promoted it.

Nazi scum!!!!!

Dissinfranchis nice word .. I prefer to think of it as stomping the constitution to dust.. with the help of the Extreme Court.
