Early voting is underway in the state but many say the new laws make it harder for people to cast their votes.Twenty-eight days, three forms, and several calls -- that's what Pam Gaskin says it took for her to finally be able to cast her ballot in Texas. The 74-year-old has voted by mail for nearly a decade, but this year, she says a typically easy process turned into a"nightmare."
"Jim Crow 2.0," Gaskin called the new law."These laws were meant to stop certain classes and categories of people from voting," she said.Gaskin and her husband, John, who suffers from Parkinson's disease, were denied mail-in ballots twice. One reason: For the first time, voters are required to submit their Social Security number or driver's license number.
So, only certain types of people have bad memories?
Let me guess they're all black voters? 🙄 GTFOH!
This ploy by Republicans was designed to help them “win” more elections. They know the only option they have is to confuse vulnerable populations and make voting as difficult as possible. Just when you think the GOP can’t sink any lower, they rise to the occasion.
