Texas lawmakers expected to discuss voting reform at special session after Supreme Court's Arizona decision
Fox News
Texas lawmakers are expected to discuss voting reforms meant to provide greater election security after the Supreme Court upheld Arizona rules that Democrats had claimed were illegal and discriminatory.
"Today, I'm announcing the formation of the House Select Committee on Constitutional Rights and Remedies, a select committee with expanded membership and expertise is the ideal forum for ensuring the thoughtful consideration of items that may be on a special session call," Texas House Speaker Dade Phelan tweeted Tuesday. Officially, the subjects to be discussed remain unknown, other than that they will be submitted by Abbott, but Democratic Rep. John Bucy III, who is on the committee, told local KVUE that he "can only imagine that the select committee will deal with elections issues." Abbott had also reportedly said in May that state lawmakers would discuss bills related to elections and bail reform during a special session some time this year.More Related News
