Will Texas voter restrictions backfire?

Will Texas voter restrictions backfire? 

The Department of Justice still reviews election policies. The only change was that there is no more preclearance. When (not if) they do so, will there be Republican backlash against the Democrats when Biden's Justice Department steps in? Will it be greater than Democratic backlash for the original law. I suspect that the mutual indignation will cancel out any advantage. Most rank and file voters don't really care. Activists, however, will be motivated. They had to be, because the Trump Justice Department did not do its job. Not this time.

Next year, we will be in the start of a Depression (asset values below loans owed). The current housing market will explode, but not quite yet. Unless the White House is pro-active, Biden will get the blame. The other wild card is Yellowstone. It has been having frequent earthquakes of a size that is worrying. If Biden handles the recovery from a super volcano well, the effect will be like 2004 post 9/11. If he does not, it will be like 2006 post-Katrina.
