TL;DR Summary

The Texas Senate has passed a bill that would ban countywide voting on Election Day, requiring people to vote at their assigned precinct instead. Supporters argue that the bill would boost election security and prevent voter fraud, while opponents say it would make it more difficult for people in sprawling counties to find a place to vote. The bill now moves to the House, where an identical bill was referred to the Elections Committee. About 90 counties currently have permission to use countywide polling places on Election Day.
