This order will force Harris County, the state& #39;s most populous and a major Democratic stronghold, to shutter 11 drop-off locations it& #39;s already opened — leaving *one* for the county of ~1,700 sq miles and 2.4 million registered voters. https://www.texastribune.org/2020/10/01/greg-abbott-texas-vote-mail/">https://www.texastribune.org/2020/10/0...
Abbott said this measure preserves election integrity but didn& #39;t provide any evidence of fraud at these locations. His staff hasn& #39;t answered my ?s about what evidence he& #39;s basing this decision on.
The president of @TXCivilRights told me there& #39;s "not a shred of evidence" of fraud

Abbott& #39;s decision is in line with a series of asks Houston Republicans made in a lawsuit Monday, attempting to limit voting options in the state& #39;s largest city. They also made vague, unsubstantiated claims about voter fraud, which experts say is rare. https://www.texastribune.org/2020/09/28/houston-republicans-lawsuit-voting/">https://www.texastribune.org/2020/09/2...
