Texas Democrats Stage Walkout to Stop Voting Bill

In a recent Texas State legislature session, Democratic lawmakers walked out to block a voting rights bill by denying a quorum, forcing Republicans to end the session. Critics argue the bill would restrict voting for black and Hispanic communities. Despite the walkout, Texas Governor Greg Abbott plans to reintroduce the bill in a special session. Lawmakers are set to reconvene soon.
