Once again, Project Vote fights election integrity measures. “The new rules included barring non-Texans from becoming volunteer deputy registrars, or VDRs; prohibiting them from accepting applications for residents outside the county in which they were appointed; requiring them to personally deliver rather than mail applications to election officials; and restricting their compensation.”

At least two of the Texas Election Code provisions stayed by the district court have been in effect since the 1980s. It’s the Democrats’ narrative that the Republicans are actively disenfranchising voters. Nope, two those were passed before the Republicans took control.

The Harris County, Texas Democratic Party tried to remove a candidate who won the primary. They used an old argument, that the party was a private association. The SAME argument was used by the Democratic Party in adjacent Fort Bend County in the 1940’s to justify and ALL WHITE primary. More details in the comments on the story.
We need new restrictions like those in TX. AZ needs to restrict petition circulators to AZ residents and non-felons only, maybe even restrict circulators to volunteer, nonpaid only.
