Dan Patrick is a racist asshole who is busy pushing proposals to suppress the vote. The only reasons for these proposals is to make it hard for minorities to vote. In particular Dan Patrick the racist is mad at Harris County for authorizing drive through voting and 24 hour voting. Dan is mad that people know that he is a racist and are calling him a racist

"Senate Bill 7 is about voter security, not about voter suppression, and I'm tired of the lies and the nest of liars who continue to repeat them," Patrick said, focusing much of his ire on Fort Worth-based American Airlines and Harris County leaders who spoke up against the bill.
He continued: Youre questioning my integrity and the integrity of the governor and the integrity of the 18 Republicans who voted for this when you suggest that were trying to suppress the vote. You are, in essence, between the lines, calling us racist, and that will not stand.
As they successfully shepherded SB 7 through the Senate over the last two weeks, Republicans argued that it is a race-neutral bill, not designed to discriminate, in part because the states voter rolls are color blind and voters dont list their race or ethnicity when they register.
Dan needs to get used to being called a racist.

(2,754 posts)Texas Civil Rights Project Staff Attorney Emily Eby put out a series of tweets to show what's actually in the bill. She gave me permission to use them to get the word out.
Here's the post I did with those tweets and more info about them last night (to General Discussion):

We need to mobilize a mass rejection (including by businesses in Texas) to stop it. Please read and spread the word!
