Greg Abbott (R) signed a sweeping election reform bill into law after a contentious battle with Democrats. Abbott signed the bill on Tuesday, which marked just days after it cleared both chambers of the state legislature.<\/p>\n<p>The legislation would restrict absentee voting as well as ban 24-hour and drive-through voting. The bill would also set specific hours for early voting and implement voter ID requirements for mail-in ballots.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne thing that all Texans can agree, and that is that we must have trust and confidence in our elections,\u201d Abbott expressed. \u201cThe bill that I\u2019m about to sign helps to achieve that goal. One thing that it does is, it insures that every eligible voter will have the opportunity to vote.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Finally, election integrity measures passed in Texas. <\/p>\n<p>The left\u2019s meltdown over this common sense law was always pure theater, by the way. <\/p>\n<p>Voters won\u2019t even notice the changes. But cheaters will. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/Gl6ILrAqLI\">https:\/\/t.co\/Gl6ILrAqLI<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Dan Crenshaw (@DanCrenshawTX) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/DanCrenshawTX\/status\/1435341344118018052?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 7, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The passage was held up last month when a group of Texas Democrats fled the state to Washington D.C. in an effort to prevent passage of the Republican-backed bill. Abbott responded by calling for two special sessions and after the Texas House reached a quorum, Republicans were able to pass the legislation.<\/p>\n<p>The bill has been set to take effect just before next year\u2019s primaries.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/blinken-austin-vow-help-to-evacuated-afghans-in-qatar\/\">Blinken, Austin Vow Help To Evacuated Afghans In Qatar<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Texas Gov.
