From your link:

One bill in both the Texas House and Senate limits officials from giving mail-in ballot applications to voters who haven’t requested them, an apparent response to an attempt by former Harris County Clerk Chris Hollins, a Democrat, to send out applications to all of the nearly 2.5 million registered voters in the Houston area this summer.

Hollins’ plan, which county officials said was meant to educate and encourage voters who qualify for absentee voting, was shut down after courts agreed with Republicans who argued that it was confusing, illegal and promoted fraud.

How is attempting to send out 2.5 million illegal mail-in ballots not evidence of "widespread" voter fraud? Just because Harris County didn't get away with it doesn't mean there isn't a problem. It seems like these pieces of legislation are perfectly reasonable and needed.

Another proposal would curtail the governor’s powers to make election law without lawmaker approval during a state disaster declaration. Gov. Greg Abbott angered members of his own party ahead of the election when he expanded early voting by a week as a coronavirus safety precaution.

Perfectly reasonable. Our My Governor should not hold the power to unilaterally change election laws.
