The G.O.P. controlled Texas Legislature passed a broad overhaul of the state’s election laws Tuesday, tightening already strict voting rules and dealing a defeat to Democrats after a months-long fight over voting rights.

Republican Gov. Greg Abbott said he will sign the bill, which is the latest in a national Republican campaign to add new hurdles to voting in the name of security.

The effort was spurred in part by former President Donald Trump’s false claims of a stolen election.

Texas Democrats fought the legislation for months. even leaving the state to try and prevent a vote.

They argue the bill was tailored to make it harder for young people, racial and ethnic minorities and people with disabilities to cast ballots.

Texas is already considered one of the hardest places to vote in the nation.
