Also: Texas is the worst of the worst Republican states in its abandonment of our precious democracy. (Letters)

,” : In the 1960s my husband, Gerald Larson, was an investigator for the federal Civil Service Commission. His primary duties were to do background investigations for security clearance for NASA personnel. We were based in San Antonio but he spent a lot of time in Houston. After the Voting Rights Act was passed he was assigned to the first team of election monitors tasked to register Black citizens to vote in southern Louisiana.
The new voting laws appear to be “same song, second verse.” They are clearly intended to suppress voting among minorities and the elderly. I’m sad to see how as a country we have failed to do better. In the ‘60s there seemed to be such promise for a more equitable society. Sadly here we are in 2022 going back to the bad old days. We haven’t learned a thing.It is abundantly clear that Texas Republicans will continue to suppress the Black vote until we vote them out of office in November.
If Democrats can increase their control of Congress in the upcoming election, they will be able to enact federal laws for universal voter registration and open elections to stultify states’ anti-democratic suppression of voter rights. Democracy will again prevail in this current Republican war on the right to vote.
