Limiting drop off locations will absolutely suppress voting, and will disproportionately affect the poor, people who rely on public transportation, POC, and people who work long and/or odd hours. IOW, largely Democratic voters. 2/4

The article highlights Harris County, which will have drop off spots reduced from 4 down to 1. Harris County is home to a large proportion of minority voters, and is a huge County. 3/4

This is why I’m worried. Take this 1 action & multiply it by hundreds of other *legal* actions across states chosen strategically & we could be in trouble. Polls cannot & will not account for these types of suppression tactics, so don’t @ me about how great the polls look. 4/

EDIT: Harris County was reduced from 11 to 1.
