The bill required poll watchers to be able to "see or hear" any activity at the polling location, as well as banning overnight early voting and drive-through voting.

Trust and confidence in our elections is one thing that all Texans can agree on. Abbott said that the bill he was about to sign would help achieve that goal. The law makes it harder for people to vote for other people.

The latest prosecution under the law in Victoria County was investigated by his office's Election Integrity team and the district attorney's office.
