WASHINGTON: Texas Governor of the Republic of Greg Abbott signed the country’s controversial election integrity bill on Tuesday after the battle for several months with the Democrats who said it limited the rights of minority elections.
Senate Bill 1, which is debated by its supporters makes the election safer by protecting against voter fraud, prohibiting the selection of drives-in and straightening several other restrictions on voting hours and voting.
“It really makes it easier for people to choose,” Abbott said at the signing in Tyler City, in the Northeast Texas.
“Nothing eligible to choose will be rejected the opportunity to choose.
However, it makes it more difficult for cheating to give illegal ballots.” Abbott’s signature took part in a protracted battle that saw 50 members of the democratic parliament escaping from Texas in a desperate effort to deny the Republican Party, the minimum number of representatives today needed to choose.
This step is equipped with supporters of former US President Donald Trump still accusing without evidence that widespread voter fraud occurred in the missing 2020 election.
President Joe Biden is called the legislation formulation “attack on democracy” which will disproportionally affect color voters.
Since January, at least 18 American countries have adopted laws that limit voting and around a dozen others are being considered, according to Brennan Center for justice.
Local Latino Community, Disreai and Pension has filed lawsuits against the law, and a step on taking place at Congress to pass the protection of voters under John Lewis voting law, which will replace Texas law.
“Texas is one of the most difficult states in this country Turner said in a statement.” Senate Bill 1 will come into force on 3.
December with intentional obstacles to choose made by this law and redistricting just around the corner, we need The US Senate to act immediately to John Lewis’s voting rights law.
Our democracy depends on him.
