New York Times: Two omnibus bills, including one that the House is likely to take up in the coming week would make Texas one of the hardest states in the country to cast a ballot in.
In Texas, Republicans have taken the rare tack of outlining restrictions that would apply only to counties with populations of more than one million, targeting the booming and increasingly diverse metropolitan areas of Houston, Austin, San Antonio and Dallas.
Among the restrictions
a ban on 24-hour voting, a ban on drive-through voting and harsh criminal penalties for local election officials who provide assistance to voters
a ban on encouraging absentee voting
a measure that would make it much more difficult to remove a poll watcher for improper conduct.
