GOP is suppressing voters in Texas: Kurt Eichenwald tweet

@kurteichenwald, 12h12 hours ago
I sold my house with an electronic signature. Taxes too. And corporate contracts.

But in Texas, GOP officials have decided - with no legal support - that such signatures for registration can't be done. They are throwing out 1000s of registrations, largely from young people.

This is just sickening. Those young folks would be Beto O'Rourke voters. Cheating bastard rethugs.

Republicans control Texas. And the Supreme Court will back them up.

Things are going to get worse, despite Democrats likely taking the House.
