Texas Senate passes election bill that is stalled until House Democrats return

Texas Senate passes election bill that is stalled until House Democrats return By Adam Brewster Texas Dems meet with Vice President Harris The Texas Senate passed its version of a major election bill on Tuesday along party lines, but it can t go anywhere unless Texas House Democrats come back to the state. More than 50 Texas House Democrats and nine Senate Democrats left the state on Monday to go to Washington, D.C., to deny a quorum in that chamber. The House cannot take action on bills without enough members present in Austin. Even without the nine Senate Democrats, there were 22 state senators present, enough for a quorum. Four Senate Democrats were present in the chamber for the debate.

AUSTIN, Texas Texas Democrats descended on Capitol Hill in Washington on Tuesday, Republicans ratcheted up pressure on them to return home. The House voted Tuesday to round up absent Democrats “by warrant of arrest, if necessary” after they fled Texas to block a GOP-backed election bill. Meanwhile, the Senate advanced the sweeping legislation that Republicans say protects election integrity, but Democrats decry as voter suppression.

Texas Democrats Have Fled the State To Protect Voting Rights

By Vivian KaneJul 13th, 2021, 4:50 pm Supporters for Texas Democrats stand outside the Austin Bergstrom International Airport as Democrats leave for Washington D.C. More than 50 Texas state Democrats are currently hiding out in Washington D.C. in an attempt to stop their Republican counterparts from passing a restrictive voting bill. By walking out, the Democrats denied Republicans the quorum they need to hold a vote on the bill. Hopefully, it will also give Democrats some bargaining power in negotiations when they return. However, that might not happen for quite some time. If Democrats are planning to run out the clock until the current special session ends, they’ll have to stay in D.C. (or elsewhere out of state) for weeks, until August 6.
