Texas Republicans pushed a new voting restriction bill during their special session despite the Democrats refusal to vote on the said measure.
Republicans seek to prohibit 24-hour polling places, ban drop boxes, and stop drive-thru voting on the new measure this weekend. The first major vote on the proposals is expected this week, according to an Associated Press News report.
Democrats, on the other hand, are calling for a second walkout to prevent the voting restrictions from being pushed forward.
Democrat lawmakers in Texas earlier walked out in May, breaking the quorum.
A group of people hold signs for Black Voters Matter outside the Texas Capitol on July 8, 2021. Texas Democratic lawmakers joined multiple organizations to criticize proposed changes to election laws during the special legislative session that started this week.
Texas Republicans have introduced another set of sweeping voting bills that voting rights advocates say could make it harder to vote in a state that already has some of the most restrictive election laws in the country.
The bills House Bill 3 and Senate Bill 1 were filed during the special legislative session called by Gov. Greg Abbott, which started Thursday. Republican leaders in the state vowed to take another pass at approving voting legislation after Texas House Democrats blocked a previous effort in May to pass more voting restrictions.
