Looks like the #txlege will end Monday with no requirement for voting machines with paper trails/audits. That provision was added to HB2909 after SB9 died in the House, but 2909 died against a Saturday deadline. Lawmakers can try again in 2021.

The committee opted to power through the rest of the public testimony. Though the initial plan was to vote it out tonight, the House Elections Committee left SB 9 pending. They’re expected to take it up at 9:45am hearing. Here’s our wrap up: texastribune.org/2019/05/15/… #txlege

TX elections depend on counties & SOS working together. But the botched voter rolls review has frayed that relationship. Amid data concerns, counties are being blamed for foul-ups. And when their main contact resigned, they were told she wasn’t in bit.ly/2GCzuKM #txlege

How Texas' voter rolls review frayed its relationship with counties
