With the goal of more transparent and truthful voting, Texas Senate Republicans introduce several Election Security Bills that aim to improve the election process and integrity in the state. The Texan reported that changes the security will introduce to the state are changes in the requirement, voting hour concerns, and even repercussion when the list of qualified voters are not updated.

Aside from Texas, the state of Iowa is also making a move to tighten and redesign its voting laws, sharing the same belief that legislation regarding voting laws will promote more transparent and truthful voting.

The slate of Election Security Bills

In Texas, there are a total of seven security bills filed by Republican senators. The Texan noted that Sen. Paul Bettencourt from Houston is joined by five joint authors: Senators Lois Kolkhorst, Bob Hall, Brian Birdwell, Brandon Creighton, and Charles Schwertner.

Politico reported that the Republicans across the country are focusing on or targeting a new and tighter election law because of former President Donald Trump's loss in the previous presidential elections.

The Texan mentioned Bettencourt, saying that the previous election showed a lack of transparency and integrity within the election process. Bettencourt added that "the integrity of the voter roll is paramount to the entire electoral process," furthering that they must recover the confidence in the voter roll that is intended for all the Texans on the upcoming and future elections. To do that, the Republicans introduced a slate of Election Security Bill, including these three.

Senate Bill 1114 and 1113

SB1114 aims to verify the citizenship status of certain registered voters. The registrar will have to regularly check and update the database of their voters for accuracy. The bill furthers that the county election administration must notify individuals who have indicated a lack of citizenship status. From there, the county administration must require the voter to submit documents such as a birth certificate, U.S. Passport, or certificate of naturalization that will validate U.S. citizenship.

SB1113 is focused on the registrars who are expected to do their duty of updating the voter's database. Failure to do so will lead them to be penalized.

Senate Bill 1111

SB1111 is a bill that will require the voters to show proof of residency before voting. The bill imposes documents to be shown as proof of residency in the form of a valid driver's license, valid identification card, or a concealed handgun license permit; all three must come from the Department of Public Safety. Moreover, an appraisal district document, a utility bill reflecting address of the voter's residence,or an official tax document may also be presented.

Other Bills

The Texan noted that the other bills introduced by the Republicans focus on election operations, which is evident in Senate Bill 1115, where it will require uniform voting hours as 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on weekdays, which will take place during the first week of early voting. During the last week of early voting, the voting hours will change to 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. on weekdays. SB110 aims to expedite legal challenges during the home stretch of the election, while SB116 requires the political result on the subdivision's website are no more than two clicks from the homepage.
