'Why make it harder for some Texans to vote unless the point is to suppress voting by people of color?' Fox News' Chris Wallace confronts Governor Greg Abbott over push for new voting laws
UK Daily Mail ^ | July 12 2021 | HARRIET ALEXANDER

The governor of Texas has been accused of attempting to make it harder for people of color to vote, after he moved to end one county's 24 hour and drive-through voting.

Greg Abbott, a Republican, appeared on Chris Wallace's Fox News show on Sunday morning.

Republicans in state legislatures have filed scores of elections-related measures this year, some of which stem from baseless claims by former President Donald Trump and his allies challenging the results of the presidential election.

24 hour voting was unevenly applied

And drive through voting put the ballot box in someone’s car (with passengers/cameras/etc) and would not appear to be compliant with election law.

Drive thru voting was also unevenly applied.

'Why make it harder for some Texans to vote unless the point is to suppress voting by people of color?'

So, Wallace is saying that the poor little black folks can't do things that are hard? Only white people can perform advanced tasks? Is that it?

Wallace’s racism needs to be confronted.

We make flying more difficult to prevent hijackings and theft of tickets, not to deter minorities.

Anyone who thinks the ID rules to fly are not racist cannot claim Voter ID rules are racist without being a total hypocrite.

We put minimum hurdles in place to ensure integrity. Anyone who believes a minority cannot meet those minimum hurdles must believe minorities are inferior.

Our side needs to confront these racists and expose them as such. But our side needs a backbone.

Still wondering if the Wallace family has an Epstein Problem...

Accused sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein has ties to Michigan's Interlochen arts school

Scroll down for the tidbit on Mike.

Actually, Abbott made a good argument about other people being in the car and influencing the vote. Voting by law is supposed to be a private process. That’s why we have curtains around the voting booth. The more we get away from that concept, the more we open ourselves up for fraud.

That’s Chrissy’s narrative and he’s sticking to it.

Nevermind that there is zero evidence “people of color” can’t obtain ID’s just like anybody else or that they can’t show up to vote just like anybody else. The talking point is that any kind of election integrity law is RRRRRRRRRRRRRRAACISSSSSS!!! so you can always count on Chrissy to parrot that line.

Chris, you're a ridiculous, clownish person who should not be taken seriously and should not be in an influential position in an honest media.

I bet these same ‘people of color’ have no problem whatsoever buying beer, which also requires a photo ID.

Hey Chrissy-Boy, why do you think that PoC are hindered by the same rules that non-PoC are able to follow? That, Chrissy-Boy, is racist.

Exactly right, nothing more racist than believing black Americans are so stupid and inept that they don’t have and or don’t understand the concept of ID. Not surprising coming from the party who have engineered the absolute destruction of the black American family over the past 50 years.

Never accept the premise of your opponent’s argument.

“We aren’t making it harder to vote, Chris. We are making it harder to cheat.”

Can someone please turn the narrative on one of these punks just once? “Why, do you believe colored people are not smart enough to have a form of ID?”
