All this has done is required an extra session

But the BeeB will carry the Democrats’ water and champion their unjust cause.

Last year were plenty of reports of all of the things Democrats want/were doing that left Euros agog.

24 hour polling centers in select precincts but not in all counties?
A month of early voting?
Ballot harvesting?
Mail in ballots and in person votes from the same voter?
No ID?
Etc etc

If Texas doesn’t go back to dumb voting machines, all this sound and fury will signify nothing...

With those Ranked Choice Voting software enabled voting machines, even if every voter is a legal voter, elections can still be stolen.

Fake news. The BBC should stick to reporting on their home country that is nothing more than a colony of former colonial sh*tholes. Most Americans have no use of nosey Brits and their asinine opinions and agenda.

The Beeb us worried because the UK has a Deep State, too.

And that last election for London’s mayor was pretty hinky...

If it is racially discriminatory, can someone from INGSOC media explain why places like India or Singapore or South Korea have strict laws in place in order to ensure the integrity of their votes and elections?

“Racially discriminatory”.

Because Democrats don’t think blacks are smart enough and capable of following the rules like everyone else….

I think it’s kinda racist to assume minorities are too stupid and inferior to have an ID.

This is not the first time legislatures staged a walk out to block passage of bills.

If I’m not mistaken, republicans staged a walk out years ago. The media found them at some resort in New Mexico or something.

More to the point look at South Africa. They have a photo voter ID.

I’ve seen some pretty dumb white people as well. Just go to Walmart...you’ll see’m.

My take, if you’re too stupid to obtain a “free” state issued ID, too stupid to follow simple instruction..perhaps you should not be taking part in something so important as voting.

The narrative is set:

HR 1 is a “Voting Rights” bill that takes away state power

The Texas bill is “Voting Restrictions” that hurts minorities

The media has already set things according to the party leadership
