TEXAS DEMOCRATIC LAWMAKERS PLAN TO FLEE THE STATE TO STOP VOTE ON ELECTION SECURITY BILL
by Kevin Ryan
At least 59 Democratic members of the Texas state House of Representatives are planning to flee to Washington, D.C. on two private jets in order to avoid having to vote on two election integrity bills.
The move would shut down the chamber, as the legislature requires a quorum of two-thirds of lawmakers be present to conduct state business.
The bills that the Democrats are trying to block are aimed at increasing election security by adding identification requirements for mail-in voting, creating new criminal penalties for breaking voting law, and empowering poll watchers to monitor elections, for example.
While in D.C., sources say the Texas Democrats will rally support for the “H.R. 1” federal voting legislation that would (according to
https://www.nytimes.com/.../politics/voting-rights-law.html) effectively nullify state voter ID requirements, ban states from removing inactive voters from voter rolls, and legalize ballot harvesting nationwide.
The lawmakers are risking arrest by not showing up for work, and absent lawmakers can be legally compelled to return to Austin.
Democrats staged a similar walkout in May, leaving the House floor to break quorum and forcing Republicans to adjourn. Gov. Abbott responded by calling a new special session, which began July 8. The special session can last as many as 30 days under the Texas constitution, meaning the Democrats would have to stay away until well into August to block the bills from passing.
