Texas Moves To Close Multiple Vote Drop-Off Locations

Description

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott ordered multiple drop-off locations for mail-in ballots across closed. CNN reports that the move has caused fears that President Donald Trump and Republicans want to suppress the vote in Texas. On Thursday, Abbott limited drop-off points for mail-in ballots to one site per county. The move seems likely to disproportionately affect minority voters in a troubling echo of racially motivated voter suppression tactics of the past. Abbott argued that his declaration was vital to ensuring the security of the vote.
