Voter suppression in Florida, Georgia, and Texas

{NAME}, Across the country, we are seeing state after state introduce, and in many cases, pass extremely restrictive voter suppression bills that are designed to give Republicans an advantage on the local, state, and federal levels. From Georgia to Florida and Texas, Republican lawmakers are doing everything they can to make sure that they maximize Republican voting power by weakening the voting power of Black and Brown voters. Just take a brief look at a few of the changes these laws will make: Georgia - Reduces the time voters have to apply for and request vote-by-mail ballots. - Creates new voter ID requirements. - Limits the number of ballot drop boxes. - Keeps people from giving out food and water to voters within 150 feet of a polling place. Florida - Places limits on the use of drop boxes. - Requires voters to more regularly request vote by mail ballots. - Limits the people who can drop off ballots for a voter. Texas - Makes it a felony to give voters a vote by mail application if they didn’t request one. - Prohibits the use of any unstaffed drop boxes. - Limits early voting hours. - Eliminates the use of certain “mobile” and drive-through polling places. - Changes the standards that determine polling places and election equipment. These laws make it clear that our work to fight voter suppression across the country is more important than ever.
