SB 1950 by Bettencourt: Election Integrity

PRO-TAXPAYER POSITION
Support
Senate Journal Page: 860

The election of 2020 and the accusations of voter fraud nationwide have resulted in many Texans calling for strict, but free and fair elections. Increasing criminal penalties on voter fraud only secures our elections. Texas wants it to be easy to vote, but hard to cheat. SB 1950 would require that the county clerk, elections administrator, early voting clerk, or early voting ballot board not have the ability to suspend the requirements of the mail ballot review. For this reason, TFR supports SB 1950.
