Texas legislators must finish the election integrity fight

Texas

Vice President Harris met with Democratic Texas lawmakers last week in Washington, but did not discuss the ongoing humanitarian crisis at our border.

This meeting falls at the nexus of a months-long, two-pronged assault from the left: first, Democratic leaders falsely smeared state election integrity bills as “Jim Crow 2.0.” Second, they used the anger generated from their smear campaign to strengthen their push for a federal election takeover.
