(Martin Walsh) The Texas Senate has passed a powerful election reform bill that aims to restrict illegal voters from casting ballots in the state’s elections.

One of the most important measures in the bill includes purging the voter rolls of non-citizens and non-residents, which would make it more difficult for unqualified voters to participate in U.S. elections.
According to the Texas Scorecard, Senate Bill 155, “adds the Texas attorney general to the list of officials receiving information about voters who identify themselves as not meeting citizenship or residency qualifications for jury service. This means they are also ineligible to be registered to vote in the county in which they were called to serve on a jury—or, in the case of non-citizens, at all.”
“Texas Senate, on an 18-13 vote, passed #SB155 cleaning voter rolls of all non-citizens/residents and giving the AG power to use jury lists to purge voters,” Tim Swain, a senate candidate, noted.
“SB 155, as well as its House companion HB 2339, were identified by the Texas GOP as meeting its election integrity policy goals of verifying voter citizenship,” the Post Millennial reported.
The report added:
The House has until tonight to vote on the bill before the current session ends. The bill would have to be on the governor’s desk on May 31 for his signature.
In Texas, the combination Bill 7 also aims to deal with election integrity by curtailing the use of drop boxes, banning drive-thru voting and 24-hour voting, and requiring voters to request absentee ballots rather than allowing election officials to send applications to all voters.
Early voting hours would also be set from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. The passage of Senate Bill 155 follows upon a number of election integrity wins for the state on Sunday, including the implementation of strict voter IDs. The usual suspects in the media, which oppose every attempt to make U.S. elections free, fair, and secure, lashed out against the measures.
Democrats also added amendments to the bill such as the ability to remove poll watchers who are disturbing the peace and softening penalties on ineligible voters.
They were also able to decriminalize some mistakes made by judges and volunteers.
Texas has taken a major stand to curb possible voter fraud.
Back in April, the U.S. Supreme Court has turned away a Democratic effort to expand mail-in voting in Texas.
Texas state law makes mail-in ballots available only for people age 65 and older or for voters who meet specific disability guidelines.
The state Democratic Party and some voters sued the Republican-governed state, arguing that by treating voters differently by age, the Texas law violated the U.S. Constitution’s 26th Amendment guarantee of the right to vote for American citizens age 18 and above.
The Democrats had gone to court to try to enable all eligible voters in Texas to vote by mail during last year’s election cycle, including the presidential election, in light of the COVID-19 pandemic.
But the Supreme Court left in place a lower court ruling that sided with Texas in the lawsuit.

The news is important to all people because it is where we come to know new things about the world, which leads to the development of more life goals that lead to life wisdom. The news also serves as a social connection tool, as we tend to relate to those who know about and believe the things we do. With the power of an open truth-seeking mind in hand, the individual can grow wise and the collective can prosper.
