Event 2: Controversy over Texas Voting Restrictions

top retweets:

Breaking: Texas Democrats are walking out to deny Republicans a quorum, which will prevent the passage of their elections bill, the trans bill, their bail bill, and everything else. They will have to leave the state for weeks. The last time they did this was in 2003.

My Democratic colleagues and I are leaving the state to break quorum and kill the Texas voter suppression bill.

We’re flying to DC to demand Congress pass the For The People Act and save our democracy.

Good trouble. #txlege pic.twitter.com/gvDi8zcyey

It's crazy & infuriating how Texas Democrats are pulling out all the stops to block GOP voter suppression but Senate Dems refuse to use all of their power to pass federal legislation protecting voting rights

At least 58 Democratic members of the state House are expected to bolt from Austin in an effort to block the measures from advancing. https://t.co/KpUNLIxC5n

Let’s support Texas House Democrats as they take the fight to our nation’s capitol to inspire the U.S. Senate to do their part.

Please donate to ensure they have the resources to fight for as long as it takes!https://t.co/2A08e6Tn0q

The majority of Texas Democrats plan to fly to Washington, D.C. and use the time there to rally support for federal voting legislation. https://t.co/T7WjnLOXBK

If Texas Dems can flee the state to block GOP voter suppression bill, Senate Dems should be able to abolish filibuster with simple majority vote to pass For the People Act to stop GOP voter suppression https://t.co/g6PecofbNI
