Black and brown voters, voters with disabilities, and working Texans.
If SB 7 passes through the Texas legislature, there is no doubt that Governor Abbott will sign it into law and Texans across our great state will have to face even more barriers to the ballot box. SB 7 would make it a state jail felony for local election officials to distribute an application to vote by mail to a voter who didnt request one, as well as set up new rules for people assisting voters who need help voting, such as those with disabilities or who dont speak English.
We are the last defense to stop this rampant act of voter suppression from passing.
