Drive-thru voting is a safe, secure, and convenient way to vote. Texas Election Code allows it, and the Secretary of State approved it.

Here are a few other things to know about Drive Thru Voting (a 🧵)
Voter suppression is intense, but Drive Thru Voting is actually in tents.

Drive Thru Voting creates a different “structure” for a polling location. The tents are similar to stadiums, community centers, and other places that are typically used for voting centers.

You can also get an idea of how Drive Thru Voting works from this video:
Out of the 1.4 million voters in Harris County, 127,000 of them opted to vote safely from their cars.

At each of the 10 Drive Thru Voting sites, DTV proved more popular than indoor voting. At Toyota Center, 4 times more people voted Drive Thru than indoors.
Budget for Drive Thru Voting was part of a plan approved by @HarrisCoJudge and Commissioners Court in August, as covered by @HoustonChron here:

Drive Thru Voting is just one of many ways that we’re keeping voters safe. Back in September @TexasMonthly called Drive Thru Voting an “intriguing innovation”.

They, like many of you, were also exited about our finger covers. https://www.texasmonthly.com/politics/voting-harris-county-chris-hollins/
Drive-through Voting. 24-Hour Polling Places. Finger Condoms. Welcome to Election 2020 in Harris...

Some Houstonians had to wait in six-hour lines to vote in the March primary. New county clerk Chris Hollins is determined to help every eligible Houstonian cast a ballot this fall.

And we’ve enjoyed hearing your #HarrisVotes stories of how Drive Thru Voting has allowed families to continue to vote together, while staying safe.
