Fact check: Here are 20 things Texas Republicans' elections bill would do

Democratic state legislators in Texas staged a dramatic walk-out Sunday night to prevent the immediate passage of a Republican elections bill that would make it harder for some residents to vote. But the bill is not dead: it could get put on the agenda at a special legislative session at some point this year.
Republican Gov. Greg Abbott has claimed that his party is trying to make it both harder to cheat and "easier to vote." While the bill does include an expansion of early voting hours in some counties, the bill on the whole is far more restrictive than expansionary.
