Texas is one in all a number of Republican-controlled states through which lawmakers have launched or handed payments to shore up election safety within the aftermath of the 2020 vote, when former president Donald Trump alleged that he misplaced due to huge fraud.

It additionally would prohibit the sending of vote-by-mail purposes to individuals who have not requested them.
