Voter Suppression

Texas Voter ID and Redistricting Taking Effect Immediately

The other Texas atrocity:

With the Supreme Court suspending the mechanism that forced Texas to get a federal OK before it can implement any election law change, state Attorney General Greg Abbott asserts that nothing now can stop the state from activating its controversial voter ID law.

“With today’s decision, the State’s voter ID law will take effect immediately,” Abbott announced. “Redistricting maps passed by the Legislature may also take effect without approval from the federal government.”

You know what? The Republicans are going to need it because there’s a storm coming and they’re in the path of it.
