Do you oppose the extra hours H.B. 3 requires polls be open on weekdays during early voting, when most Texans cast their ballots?
Do you oppose the extra hours H.B. 3 requires polls be open on weekends – Saturday and Sundays – during early voting?
Do you oppose H.B. 3 requiring more counties to provide weekend early voting by lowering the threshold from counties with 100,000 population to counties with at least 55,000 population?
Do you oppose H.B. 3 making it easier to vote by mail by replacing the cumbersome signature verification process by letting voters provide alternative identification like the number from their driver’s license or a state-provided ID or the last four digits of their Social Security number?
Do you oppose H.B. 3 requiring counties to notify Texans who vote by mail if they made a mistake on their ballot and allowing them to "cure" that mistake?
Do you oppose H.B. 3 guaranteeing the right of poll watchers to actually witness what’s going on while providing additional protections for voters to cast their ballots without interference?
Some in the Texas house have made it known they want to do away with requiring voter ID, which has long been on the state’s statute book, withstood scrutiny of lengthy litigation, and is not altered by H.B. 3. If those who want to strike it from the state’s election laws, why have they not offered that as an amendment?
Exactly where in H.B. 3 does it state there must be literacy tests, poll taxes or all white primaries in Texas?

Thank you Karl Rove for taking a pragmatic approach to this nonsense.
