The freshman Republican filed a bill that would ban polling places from college campuses and used the absurd justification that she's concerned about safety. Texas TexasRepublicans VoterSuppression VotingRights
Carrie Isaac's bill dovetails with other GOP measures that are engineered to steer people who tend not to vote Republican away from the polls.Even among the Texas GOP's beyond-flimsy justifications for filing a raft of new voter-suppression bills, freshman State Rep. Carrie Isaac's is a standout for its absurdity.
"I don't think it's wise we're inviting people to come on to our school campuses that would otherwise not have any business there," Isaac said."So, I believe that we should do anything and everything possible just to make sure that our campuses are as safe as possible." Never mind that college campuses regularly host sporting events, concerts, lectures and other gatherings that draw far larger — and harder to monitor — crowds than those that typically show up at voting centers.
