The Barbara Jordan Texas Voting Rights Act, or TXVRA (which includes HB 5258 and HB 2082) will protect Texas voters from voting discrimination, provide powerful tools to combat voter intimidation, expand language access, and more — to ensure free and fair elections for every Texas voter.

We reviewed with Counsel for the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, Christina M. Das, the Texas Civil Rights Project’s Voting Rights Policy Attorney, Veronikah Warms, and Policy Director for Common Cause Texas, Emily Eby French, J.D. on why Texas can and should lead the nation in protecting the right to vote and promoting inclusive democracy by adopting the Texas VRA.
