Texas Democrats mull another walkout over election reform: 'Everything is on the table'
Fox News
Texas Democrats may consider another walkout during the state’s special legislative session this month after the outnumbered lawmakers’ walkout in May derailed the Republicans’ controversial voting bill by a midnight deadline in the GOP-led legislature.
The previous walkout drew the attention of the White House, with Vice President Kamala Harris meeting with several of the Texas state lawmakers in Washington in June. This week the lawmakers spoke about why they may employ the tactic again. "From a caucus perspective, since we’re going into the unknown, we have to keep every option open, which includes denying quorum," state Democratic Rep. Jessica González of Dallas, vice chair of the House Elections Committee, told The Tribune. "I think a lot of folks want to see what would be in [the elections bill] before making a decision."More Related News
