Texas’ Abbott says Dems who ‘fled’ state over elections bill will be arrested upon return
Fox News
Gov. Greg Abbott, the Texas Republican, criticized state Democrats who fled to Washington, D.C., on Monday in an effort to deprive the Legislature of a quorum, thus the ability to vote on the GOP's sweeping elections overhaul bill.
"Once they step back into the state they will be arrested and brought back to the Capitol and we will be conducting business," he said. Republicans argue the contentious bill would provide greater election security, while Democrats charge it would suppress voter turnout of minorities.More Related News
