The right to vote is one of the most precious and fundamental pillars of our democracy. It is the mechanism through which we, the people, hold our government accountable and ensure our voices are heard.

The value of this sacred right is why it is under constant threat.

In Texas, there has been a persistent effort by Republicans to undermine and restrict voting access. These efforts, often cloaked in the guise of “election integrity,” are thinly veiled attempts to disenfranchise voters perceived as unfavorable to their political agenda.

Whether you registered five years or thirty years ago, it’s always a good idea in a Republican-led Texas to verify your registration to ensure you haven’t been removed from the voter rolls.

For years, we have witnessed a series of voter suppression tactics aimed at making it more difficult for certain groups to exercise their right to vote. From extreme voter ID laws to aggressive voter roll purges, the measures put in place disproportionately impact minority communities, young voters, and those with lower socioeconomic status. The underlying message is clear: the power of the vote is immense, and those who wish to maintain control are willing to go to great lengths to diminish this power.
