Texas House passes election bill after Democrats delayed it by fleeing state
CBSN
The Texas House passed Friday a sweeping election law after months of Democratic opposition that included a nearly six-week quorum break.
The House passed the bill 80-41 about a week after the Democrats ended their 38-day walkout. Lawmakers debated the controversial bill for more than 12 hours Thursday before giving it final passage Friday. Texas Governor Greg Abbott tweeted Thursday that he looked "forward to signing this bill into law."More Related News
