The Fight To Vote or The Right to Vote

from Y'all-itics · host WFAA

Election security?  Or voter suppression?  The rhetoric is heating up in Texas as the battle over election reform begins in earnest this week.  While there is a spate of bills lawmakers will consider, Senate Bill 7 is the granddaddy of them all.  Among other things, it would eliminate drive-thru voting, limit voting hours, make it much harder to vote by mail.  In this week’s episode of Y’all-itics, the Jasons are joined by the Executive Director of Progress Texas, an organization that amplifies progressive causes.  Edward Espinoza says if election uniformity is the true goal, why not expand access for voters, instead of making it harder for some to participate.  And the Jasons speak to Republican state Senator Paul Bettencourt, who calls the proposals common sense reform, not some grandiose scheme to turn back what was very successful election… for Republicans. We’d like to know what you think about Y’all-itics! So, please take the survey the Jasons mentioned: https://bit.ly/3qPjJDO
