Expanding Voting Rights
Texas Republicans are making it harder for Texans of all parties and backgrounds to vote. Last March, over 12% of all mail-in ballots—nearly 25,000 Texans’ votes—were rejected and not counted. That’s 1 in 8 mail-in voters who lost their voice on the ballot, regardless of political party.
All Americans have a constitutional right to fair and equal access to the ballot, and it’s time to pass electoral reforms that would end gerrymandering of congressional districts and allow early voting, mail-in voting, and campaign finance transparency.
