You might want to pay more attention, then.
Take your Texas example: the state is currently in a legal battle over the Governor's surprise order two weeks ago to only allow one ballot drop per county [1], meaning that Harris County with 4.5 million people went from 11 drop locations to 1, the same number as rural counties with only several hundred people. And, of course, the high-population counties are the urban ones that reliably vote Democrat. This is just one of many examples from around the country of Republican governors/legislatures moving to reduce or remove early voting infrastructure.
This is indeed an usual election, but there is unquestionably also a systematic campaign being waged to reduce voting by the Republicans.

- bpt3 6y agoNo, I don't need to pay more attention since I'm fully aware of that decision, but thanks for your condescending attitude. What impact does that decision have on the long lines in nearly every metropolitan area in the US, including places like mine which have no record of any claims of voter suppression or interference at the state level?
