YouTube Description
as posted by the channelEarly voting in the first 2022 primary elections kicked off Monday in Texas with extreme new anti-voter laws in effect. The Republican-enacted restrictions have already caused Texas voters issues, with some 40% of ballots in Houston rejected. We speak with Anthony Gutierrez, executive director of Common Cause Texas, one of 30 civil rights groups who sent a letter to the Texas secretary of state on Monday calling for stronger action to ensure voters have access to the ballot leading up to the state's March 1 primary. We also speak with Greg Casar, who is running in Texas's 35th Congressional District, which covers eastern Austin and eastern San Antonio.
