Another law criminalizing something around voting? No thanks.

If the US wouldn’t just turn it into another way to oppress minorities, I might be on board, but I guarantee that Texas would find some way to do it.

“You must have registered to vote 4 weeks prior to election day.”

“We purged rolls 2 weeks before election day, and you can no longer vote without re-registering, but the date is now passed.”

“It’s also illegal not to vote, though, so you’re now a criminal.”
