Get Ready With America

24/02/2022

Texas’s primary is on Tuesday, March 1st, and it’s the first statewide election since the Texas Legislature passed SB 1, which set several restrictions on voting accessibility across the state. Today we’re talking about the changes to voting by mail, or absentee voting, and the various hurdles that elections administrators and voters now face to get all mail-in ballots counted. This video is for you if you’re a Texas voter wondering how to check on your ballot or how to fix your ballot.

With potential for gerrymandering and control of the U.S. House at stake, state legislatures and independent commissions are drawing new U.S. House and state legislative boundaries.
