Texas Dems who fled to DC to block voting law sue Gov. Abbott
NY Post
Nearly two dozen Democratic lawmakers sued Gov. Greg Abbott and other state GOP leaders – claiming efforts to bring them back to Austin for a special session violated their rights.
The 22 members of the Texas House, who’d skipped town to avoid a vote on a controversial election reform bill, claim the Saturday special session infringed on their constitutional rights to free speech. Abbott called for the arrest of more than 50 Democrats that flew to Washington, DC, to block the passage of a bill that they said would restrict access to the polls, according to The Texas Tribune.More Related News
