        An LGBTQ+ ally was always going to win this year’s Democratic primary in Texas. On Wednesday, Texas state Rep. James Talarico won the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate, defeating U.S. Rep.

        Republicans in Congress have cast the SAVE America Act as a straightforward effort to “protect election integrity,” with Speaker Mike Johnson calling it “commonsense” and saying it is supported by “more than 80 percent of the American people.” But civil rights advocates and voting law experts warn the bill would do far more than tighten verification rules: It would erect new barriers that disproportionately burden marginalized voters whose legal identities do not neatly align with government paperwork, while also blocking millions of eligible Americans from voting.

        When Republican U.S. Senate candidate Mike Rogers unveiled the senior leadership of his campaign’s faith leaders coalition in November, the announcement was pushed out as a statement of values — “faith, family, and freedom,” in the campaign’s words. A closer look at the people Rogers elevated into those roles, however, reveals a leadership team bound together not only by religious conservatism but by a long record of opposition to LGBTQ+ rights and, in several cases, efforts to undermine confidence in U.S. elections.
