Texas GOP voting reform bill may be reworked in private after House passage

A Texas Republican-backed voting reform bill could be reworked in a series of private deliberations after the legislation cleared the state House on Friday.

Senate Bill 7 prohibits the “solicitation of ballot by mail applications,” requires disabled voters to affirm they are “physically unable to enter a polling a place” if they seek alternative means of casting their ballot, and disallows those in political subdivisions from using public funds to distribute early voting forms to people who did not request them.
