State Legislatures Continue Push For New Voting Laws

The video discusses recent election reform efforts across the U.S., focusing on new voting laws in Arizona and proposed changes in Texas. Arizona's SB 1485 alters the permanent early voter list, while Texas's SB Seven aims to restrict unsolicited mail-in ballot applications and increase poll watcher access. The video also highlights reforms in key swing states like Florida, noting that these changes are not necessarily reactions to the 2020 election but part of broader legislative trends.

• Voters must respond to remain on the list if they don't return their ballot for four years.

What is a potential consequence of Texas's proposed SB Seven?
