Believe Quote by Marc Veasey
“There're a lot of Republicans in the state of Texas that vote by mail, probably more than Democrats. We make it an incentive to make it easier for seniors to be able to vote. I do believe, from a personal experience, it discourages people from voting. It's the hassle of getting the stamp that is my biggest concern.”
