Texas made a step in the right direction on Thursday when the state Senate approved legislation that would ban mail-in drop boxes and most drive-thru voting.
The Texas State Senate approved the legislation on April 1, a measure that Republicans say "Ensures election integrity," while Democrats say it's voter suppression and makes it harder for people with disabilities and ethnic minorities to vote.
Earlier this morning, the Texas State Senate passed legislation with provisions that limit voting access.
Any legislation dealing with how elections are conducted must ensure ballot integrity and security while making it easier to vote, not harder.
Many of the same Republicans who voted for the bill are the same who have been in office for past voting legislation.
While presenting the bill to the Senate, Republican state Sen. Bryan Hughes said the legislation "Standardizes and clarifies" voting rules so that "Every Texan has a fair and equal opportunity to vote, regardless of where they live in the state."
American's crosstown rival, Dallas-based Southwest Airlines Co., weighed in with a statement saying "Every voter should have a fair opportunity to let their voice be heard." Southwest didn't take a stance on the Texas voting bill.
It's becoming increasingly difficult to discern fact from fiction, and unfortunately the media has a strong bias. They spin stories to make conservatives look bad and will go to great lengths to avoid reporting on the good that comes from conservative policies. There are a few shining lights in the media landscape-brave conservative outlets that report the truth and offer a different perspective. We must support conservative outlets like this one and ensure that our voices are heard.
