(22,651 posts)1.I take a few people to vote every election because they don't have transportation. Some D program to provide an Uber ride would bring in more votes. These rides need to happen during the early voting days.
2.One person I know- 'someone' changed their voter registration from harris county to a fort bend county address. They weren't even able to vote in the last election. polling Judge told them no, they'd have to go to the incorrect location and vote provisional. They went home and didn't vote at all. I don't think this was the only person with changed voter registration information. It wouldn't hurt to blanket the state with voter registration cards (postage I think is paid) so people could re-register.
3. and this is probably where much suppression 'was' planned to happen for 2020 GE- The change in Drivers License & Tx ID cards to 'REAL ID'. Some Tx persons can't renew online because their original application didn't require a ss card to be viewed. Texas started to send out letters this year requiring in person renewal with original ss card.
3a. because of corona virus locations are closed. DMV is allowing 60 days extra to renew. 60 days isn't enough. Is there anyway your group can help push this renewal/'REAL ID' issue to 2021? Push it to 2021 so it doesn't hurt the November General election voters at all.

ref info on In accordance with section 418.016 of the Texas Government Code, the Office of the Governor approved the Department's request to suspend provisions of the Texas Transportation Code to the extent necessary to delay the expiration date of Driver Licenses (DL), Commercial Driver Licenses (CDL), Personal Identification Cards (ID), and Election Certificates (EIC).
If your Texas DL, ID, CLP, CDL card or EIC expires on or after March 13, 2020, you are granted a waiver for the expiration date for 60 days after the Department provides further public notice that normal operations have resumed.

The information requiring an in person renewal with original ss card in hand is in the normal renewal letter sent out to all car license/state id holders.
