Governor Abbott Signs Election Security Bill Into Law
Texas Governor Gregg Abbott signed an election security bill into law on Thursday, months after Texas Democrats fled the state to try to prevent the bill from passing. “Senate Bill 1 ensures trust and confidence in our elections system — and most importantly, it makes it easier to vote and harder to cheat,” Governor Abbott said. “Safe and secure elections are critical to the foundation of our state, and I thank Senator Hughes and Representative Murr for their leadership on this important issue. I am proud to sign Senate Bill 1 into law to uphold the integrity of our elections
