Texas Voters Demand Online Voter Registration

Earlier today, the Texas Secretary of State announced its office will provide fewer voter registration forms to eligible voters, blaming a lack of paper supply. The paper form is the only method available to voters needing to register to vote or update their voting preferences. That’s because Texas is one of eight states that do not offer online voter registration.
The role of government is to solve problems—not create them—but that’s exactly what the Texas Secretary of State’s office has done.
Let’s be clear, this is not about a paper shortage—it’s about voter suppression.
It’s time for the state of Texas to join the 21st century, and the rest of the country, and provide online voter registration to every eligible voter in Texas.

The people of Texas expect our government to work as hard we do and to be as innovative as we are. A lack of paper should not keep voters from casting a ballot or having their vote fairly counted.
This is a problem that’s easily solvable. We ask that the state immediately take steps to fix this problem that they have manufactured.
