        Texas Republicans so invested in voter suppression b/c they want to enact cruel unpopular policies with no accountability “The GOP doesn’t need to have support of majority of population if it skews composition of electorate to win majority of votes”https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2021/08/texas-republicans-pass-voting-restrictions-to-solidify-anti-democratic-hold-on-power/ …

        Similar to how #SB8 deputizes citizens to ban abortions, new TX voter suppression law grants partisan poll watchers "free movement" inside polls & subjects election workers to criminal penalties for removing them. Vigilante "justice" across statepic.twitter.com/tdHNJss0C0

        in states like Texas & Georgia "a systematic effort to distort the democratic process through voter suppression and gerrymandering greased the way for near-total bans on abortion and other extreme right-wing policies"https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2019/05/gerrymandering-voter-suppression-abortion-heartbeat-bills/ …
