TEXAS
Did you know that Texas was deemed the fifth most difficult state to vote in? To be eligible to vote in Texas, a person has to satisfy an array of restrictive ID requirements. Additionally, Texas passed a controversial voting law in 2021, SB1, that banned drive-thru voting and 24-hour voting. These restrictive voting laws disproportionately impact people of color, a demographic that accounts for 58.6% of the state's population.
