Texas Democrats have spent the month in Washington DC, trying to protect voting rights in the Lone Star State. This week on Into America, Trymaine Lee speaks with Texas State Representative Senfronia Thompson, the longest-serving Black lawmaker in Texas history, about why she’s risking arrest to keep up the fight for voters back home in Texas and to push for better voter protections nationwide. » Subscribe to MSNBC:

Don’t Mess With Texas Voting Rights | Into America Podcast – Ep. 126 | MSNBC
make voting day a holiday, problem solved.
Get rid of the electoral college then the problem will be solved, and The problem with the holiday may help some but won’t be solved because the line will be so long that not everyone will be able to vote because they also put 7 as closing time and no 24 hour voting as well as no voting on Sundays.
The Democrats really should hide Joe Biden from the public this getting really bad.
@Stooping Falcon after stating Biden is more scary than Trump…how could u possibly insult a democratic loving American more?
@Dwain Kitchel Because he is living in his own little dream world that has nothing to do with reality. Is he REALLY aware of what his country is going through? He is 78 years old ffs, and his memories are based on his perception of the world when he was young. Providing of course, that his memory is in fact, intact. That is a question that has been tossed out there. Oh and no, I am not a Trump supporter. What I WOULD love to know is, when are you people elect a Prez, that knows what he is doing?
@Dwain Kitchel Well Dwain, I am not US, and given that US politics are no more than a play for power over citizens, I have not in the slightest way any interest in insulting anyone within your political sphere. Matters not a toss to me which colour of toothpaste they brush their teeth with, since your political arena seems to have devolved into brawling in the streets and some attempts at destroying your ‘democracy’. No matter which side of the fence they stand on, your politicians have no interest in how to make your citizens lives better. All they care about is the power it gives them. Take a step back and look at it from an objective viewpoint Dwain.
@C B joe Biden needs to be removed from power
@Stooping Falcon when we have one that can hold the center and left
Biden needs to do something on voting rights unilaterally. An executive order. He can’t wait for congress.
Voter suppression is an idea.
@Wark Mahlberg
Lmaoooooo
At least switch troll accounts lubomirov
Sadly, EOs can’t do that. Only Congress, and the individual states, can pass legislation on voting
He can’t write an executive order on voting rights etc. There’s many things he can’t do executive orders otherwise it would have been already done.
I pray Biden has a plan to use an executive order before it’s too late R will never give up POWER GRABBING & time is slipping away into the future
@S S what are you even on about? That’s what we’re trying to have NEVER happen
@C B that’s a lie.. I know it. You know it. Stunner. Shocking that a republican would lie, claim the exact opposite of what he knows Democrats are about.
Perhaps it’s escaped your notice~ or maybe your Trumpublican alternate reality bus just doesn’t stop there, but our new president~yours and mine if you are in fact an American and not a Russian bot~ which is more likely actually~has made it plain for minute one, that he wants above all a bipartisan government. A BIPARTISAN CONGRESS MAKING BIPARTISAN LEGISLATION TO HELP ALL THE AMERICAN PEOPLE NOT JUST THE RICH WHITES.
You clearly require a megaphone because you’re not hearing what’s actually being said, so I just gave you one. There. Now you know what the truth actually is.
Biden have a plan??🤣😂🤣 are you a liberal meth tweaker or something? Biden have a plan 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
Biden is about to be removed from office soon.
He can’t write an executive order on voting rights etc. There’s many things he can’t do executive orders otherwise it would have been already done.
Let’s go over the previous election. I heard there was an audit. Why won’t you report the results?
@Keith Johnson – Shelby GT500 ?
@My Email *- Joe’s underwater on other issues, but keep your head in the sand, because that’s where it belongs.*
So you believe pollsters now?
With no voter ID? I’ll never believe it. Democrats are woke communists and after this week, your woke crap is OVER!!!!
@C B
Ooh, scary. The right sure likes to keep voters in fear using words such as Communism. Socialism.
Autocracy and Communism are pretty close cousins.
You’re willing to lose our Democratic Republic for someone who tried to remain in power (autocrats do that) by overturning the free and fair election?
And don’t even try to defend that orange turd. HE CHEATED!
Sinema and Manchin are holding voting rights hostage, and for what, so that Democrats can lose in 2022?
*Liberal Pollsters Cheat, because they’re Activists for the Liberal Parasite Cult of Freeloading.*
@Keith Johnson – Shelby GT500 Trumpism is a cult. Fat Jesus died for you.
Wow Biden is toast ,in Afghanistan the Taliban opened fire on civilians Biden can’t be forgiven for this one!!!!
@Dementia Joe Kid Touch typical red hat sheep, trying to rewrite history. Trump was the one that released the Taliban fighters. He was still president at the time he negotiated the deal with the Taliban
@Keith Johnson – Shelby GT500 yup. Lies get more ratings. Fox News said, in court, that they are entertainment, not News, and shouldn’t be taken seriously. They won with that defense. They called themselves fake news and won. Court transcripts are public record. You can read it yourself
@My Email it’s all ratio.
@camwyn256 Little boy 👦 now that Dementia Joe gave Afghanistan to the Taliban you don’t suppose they might release their fellow Troops??????? See you can’t think and thats why you are a sheep 🐑!!!! Might i add BOY Dementia Joe armed the Taliban with billions of dollars in USA weapons!!!!!!!!!! Trump isn’t president and maybe you miss him?????
@My Email along with the other 5000 prisoners Trump had released.
You cannot make this sh*t up. Just as I thought the left couldn’t get any more ludicrous.
Suppression? You think you are oppressed? By statues!!!!! Look at Afghanistan and your woke ideology is over.
*Fox News has more Total Viewers than CNN and MSNBC combined.*
@Stooping Falcon
Lmmfaoooooo
Nice try khabrahov
Emperor Trumpus hiding away over Desantis variant 🤢…
@Keith Johnson – Shelby GT500 well that’s what happens with entertainment. Fox News won in court with their defense that they are entertainment, not News, and shouldn’t be taken seriously.
*Handling of Afghanistan – Polling*
*44% approval Jihadi Joe*
*47% approval Bush*
*51% approval Trump & Obama*
Lmaoooooo
Recycled troll clown
Getting it done should be the new campaign slogan and We should be there
Traitor Joe for prison
Lmaoooooo
Hilarious little princess Pavlov
Did you had to make a new account last week because you got banned?
@camwyn256 No I didn’t junkie. Thanks for karen.
@Sivo ah. You’re just a troll, then. Thanks for boosting the metrics on this video, ensuring that even more people see it
@camwyn256 Thanks for karen junkie
Queen vladz trolling clowns seem to be triggered into overtime for that extra ration of turnip soup and day old blini
Lmaoooooo
Don’t forget the borscht
I know many native born Russians who are lovely people. It’s too bad Trump pays others to come here and try and speak for him
“I’m not really a republican I just play one on YouTube comments”
@Frenchblue8
Lmaoooooo
Such lovely humor
Little buddy
Made me chuckle 😂
John 8:44
Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
Isaiah 5:20
Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
‘voter suppression’ translation – efforts to stop voter fraud.
‘for the people act’ translation – for the Democrats act.
‘protect voting rights’ translation – protect election fraud.
‘undocumented immigrant’ translation – illegal alien.
How is criminalizing distribution of food and water to voters helping ballot security?
Voting rights get a ID and go vote it don’t matter what color you are fake news no such thing as voter suppression
Educate yourself on the matter. I did.
My disabled elderly mother, living in a nursing home, was supposed to get an ID?
Trump won
Poll tax.
I can’t even….dear lord
