Democrats file lawsuit to stop "heinous assault" on voting rights in Texas

[redqueen]

Texas has historically been a very low voter turnout state. But Republicans here, through widespread attempted purges and legislation, want to keep it that way — at least for certain groups of voters.

On Wednesday, the Texas Democratic Party, Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, and Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee filed a lawsuit to challenge the GOP-imposed ban —which went into effect on Sept. 1 —on “mobile” early voting sites. These sites help young people living near colleges and universities vote.

The ban discriminates against younger voters and violated the the First and Fourteenth Amendments to the Constitution.

Calling the move a “heinous assault” on the right to vote, the state party’s chairman, Gilberto Hinojosa, said in a statement that “Republicans know Texas is changing, that’s why they’re trying to change the rules to make it harder for college students, seniors, the disability community, rural Texans, and survivors of natural disasters to cast their ballots.”

1. Things take forever to change, because of idiots like that...

It's gonna change, and you know it's true, because of obstructionist tactics like this.

There'd be no point if there was no danger.

That in itself is a good sign, but still, it pisses me off that anyone would do something like that.

I can take comfort in knowing that it's also gonna piss off the very people that they're trying to recruit, ha, ha,
