Today we've got some good news about one of the worst voter suppression bills in the

country.

I interview Beto O'Rourke about the moves being made to fix the problems from 2020 when

certain Texas counties actually swung to the right and whether to run for governors in

the works.

And I chat with the co-founder and co-executive director of Indivisible, Leah Greenberg,

about a major new effort that the group just launched.

I'm Brian Tyler Cohen and you're listening to No Lie.

So last week we spoke about Texas' voter suppression bill SB7.

I interviewed a member of the Texas State House James Tallerico and we're going to give

you an update about that because the last thing we left off on was James basically saying

that while he was proud that he and his colleagues were able to stave off this bill for now,

that it was unlikely they'd be able to kill the bill entirely if Republicans bring it up

again in the special session promised by Governor Abbott.

But then he said this.

Well, you know, thanks to people like you, we are getting a national spotlight on Texas.

Everyone in the country is talking about SB7 and the Republicans' attempts to really

destroy representative democracy as we know it.

And that kind of spotlight, that kind of attention, I think will force Republicans back

to the negotiating table.

And hopefully, you know, I do think we're going to pass some type of voter suppression

bill.
