Texas Dems Flee State To Stall GOP Elections Bills

Texas Democrats left the state to prevent Republicans from passing restrictive voting laws. The proposed measures include stricter voter ID requirements and bans on certain voting methods. Without a quorum, Republicans cannot advance the bills. Democrats aim to pressure Congress and President Biden to enact federal voter protection laws. The Texas governor threatens to call multiple special sessions and arrest Democrats upon their return. This is the second time Democrats have used this tactic, previously walking out in May.
