Jun. 23 Republicans in the U.S. Senate blocked an election reform bill that Texas Democrats have increasingly called for following the Texas legislative session, but state lawmakers are still pushing for federal action as a special session looms.
U.S. senators voted Tuesday to end debate on the For The People Act, an election reform bill that Texas Democrats said was needed after they killed a state bill that many feared would restrict access to the polls if enacted. The federal bill needed 60 votes in the 50-50 divided chamber to bypass a filibuster.
