Texas Democrats To Flee State To Block GOP Backed Voting Restrictions The Texas Statehouse in Austin. (Twitter/CNN) After their first attempt failed, Texas Republicans are again trying to pass an election restriction bill through the state prompting Democrats to flee the state to block it. At least 58 Democratic Representatives are expected to flee Austin Monday in an effort to block measures from advancing according to NBC News. The move, which was also conducted in 2003, will stop political  business in the state until the lawmakers return or the session ends. Texas lawmakers plan to travel to Washington D.C. and stay there for at least three weeks and begin advocating for federal voting such as the For The People Act, also known as H.R. 1. Last month, Texas Democrats staged a walkout to stop Republicans from passing the bill.
