Take a few moments to watch this video as a TX lawmaker who claims to have studied the legislative history of the TX Constitution demonstrates his ignorance about identical language included in the TX voting bill which was explicitly used to keep black people from voting in Texas https://twitter.com/morethanavote/status/1390782212380012550
The “purity of the ballot box” language has a very specific history in TX which @NAACP_LDF lifted up in the written testimony we submitted opposing HB 6
Also lifted up in written testimony submitted when @Sifill_LDF testified at recent hearing before US Senate Judiciary Committee. Title of the hearing was “Jim Crow 2021: The Latest Assault on the Right to Vote”, an appropriate description of what we are seeing in TX, FL, GA, etc.
