Somehow the Texas Republicans thought this was a good way to defend waiting in long lines to vote in their state.
So they're proud of both their voter suppression efforts, and long lines for COVID testing? Do they honestly believe either is acceptable?
They were rightfully shredded for this nonsense on Twitter:

If you can do a covid test at home, you can vote from home. Americans have been voting by mail since the Civil War, the one you lost and cannot get over for some reason. #VotingRightsAct pic.twitter.com/FqDWWzr6uJ

850,000+ Americans have died from covid. GOP is fine with millions more dying.
This isn't the gotcha you think it is. We shouldn't have to wait in line to vote or to get a covid test. Both should have easier access, but GOPers like Abbott and DeSantis don't care.— lawhawk #vaxxedforfamilyandcommunity (@lawhawk) January 7, 2022

Funny how your governor is expanding testing right now, so looks like voting rights should be expanded, making it easier to do.https://t.co/Axh5sRxct1

Translation: "The more people that vote, the less chance we have of winning."

Why are you making people wait in line to do either thing @TexasGOP ? Are y'all that backwards you can't figure out how to run an election or a health care facility? Seems in keeping with how you run your electric grid. Go figure.

In a functioning democracy, should should not have to wait in line for either.

Just like you can wait in food lines for hours to get food in Texas during a pandemic and you can wait days for power and heat due to a failing power grid in Texas - all under GQP leadership 🤷♂️💩
