## Resource

Governor Greg Abbott’s latest social media blast naming 79 Democratic lawmakers who opposed a voter ID bill has ignited national debate, with critics likening his tactics to Trump-era politics and accusing him of voter suppression. Meanwhile, Democratic gubernatorial candidate Gina Hinojosa is countering with billboards across Corpus Christi exposing Abbott’s alleged $1 billion in contract favoritism to donors — all as Texans grapple with soaring costs and school closures. Election Day is November 3rd; register by October 5th and early voting begins October 19th. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
