TX House Passes Voter Integrity Law After Arrest Warrants Issued for Dem Fleebaggers

After a series of delays and theatrics by Democratic lawmakers, the Texas House finally approved its much-maligned voter integrity bill on Thursday.
According to the Washington Post, election bill SB1 passed 79-37 along party lines after 12 hours of debate in which the Democrats accused Republicans of restricting voter rights. The Post reported:
The Texas bill restricts methods of voting, tightens the rules around mail ballots, empowers partisan poll-watchers and creates new rules and penalties for mistakes by election officials and people helping others vote. The measure also outlaws drive-through and 24-hour voting, which were successfully implemented — and widely embraced — in Harris County last year as pandemic-era voting alternatives.
Republicans have argued the bill will actually expand voting and lessen the possibilities for voter fraud. Prior to the vote, Texas Rep. Andrew Murr (R) argued that the bill contains bi-partisan language and “demonstrates that all viewpoints have been and are being considered, regardless of party affiliation.” He also asserted that the bill will make elections “uniform and consistent throughout this state to reduce the likelihood of fraud … protect the secrecy of the ballot, promote voter access, and ensure that all legally cast ballots are counted.”
