Gov. Greg Abbott on Saturday vetoed a bipartisan bill that would have expanded vote-by-mail access for people with disabilities — specifically people who are blind or paralyzed and need assistance marking their ballot.

That is particularly ghoulish considering Abbott’s own history. Coming from the same place as allowing a law to pass that prohibits the same sort of lawsuit that made him wealthy enough to run for governor of Texas.
He has house servants and assistants to drive him to the polls, and almost certainly can take as much time from work as he wants to go do it on the taxpayer dime. Self-interest is the only driving force for people like him.
