Yeah, That’s Not In the Bill
What to know: Opponents of Georgia’s new elections law say it will impose onerous voter ID requirements on those voting by mail. They’re wrong; there are multiple ways for absentee voters to verify their identities.
The TPPF take: The simple fact is that voting by mail isn’t as secure as voting in person. We must make it so.
“Due to Texas’s widespread use of voter identification for in-person voting, the problem of election fraud is mainly the domain of mail-in voting, where a lack of identification safeguards and inconsistent voter list maintenance can be exploited to produce illegal ballots,” says TPPF’s Chuck DeVore. “As a result, this is where legislative efforts to improve election integrity should be focused.”

No Thanks, We’re Good
What to know: The Left is working to bring “Action Civics” to Texas. It’s a twist on real civics education, which focuses on participation in protests for progressive causes rather than on teaching students about the Constitution.
The TPPF take: Action Civics is a real threat to Texas values.
“Without proper guardrails, Action Civics quickly deviates to using students as political pawns on the front lines of the culture war,” says TPPF’s Lucy Meckler. “While Action Civics presents itself as the ‘cure’ for our civic illiteracy, it is in fact far worse than the disease.”

That’s Just Math
What to know: A full 98 percent of corporation CEOs say that President Biden’s proposed corporate tax hike will hurt their companies and slow their hiring.
The TPPF take: There’s no mystery here.
“Higher corporate taxes will mean either fewer investors, fewer customers, a lower-quality workforce, or some combination thereof,” says TPPF’s E.J. Antoni. “Raising corporate taxes around the entire world is simply a way to fleece the public for additional revenue without people realizing their taxes are being raised.”
