Texas Democratic Lawmakers Go To DC To Stop The Passing Of Republicans’ Voting Bill – News On 6
Category: Republicans
More than 50 Democratic legislators from Texas are in Washington after having fled the Lone Star State.
They left the state to stop the Republican-controlled legislature from passing bills that the Democratic lawmakers said would severely restrict voting rights.
Republicans said the legislation is needed to restore confidence in the states elections.
Democrats used a similar quorum-breaking move this spring to keep nearly identical bills from becoming law. They are now urging Congress to pass federal legislation the For the People Act and John Lewis Voting Rights Act to supersede any restrictive state measures.
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, R, is threatening to have the lawmakers arrested whenever they do return home.
News 9's Alex Cameron will have the latest from D.C. during the 5 p.m. newscast.
