Texas Gov. Greg Abbott said that upon their return to Texas, the Democratic legislators will be arrested and brought to the Capitol so that the special session will have a quorum to do business. He added that he intends to continue calling 30-day special sessions until the state is able pass a law.
The press conference, outside of the Capitol building in Washington, D.C., also included a singing of "We Shall Overcome." Following Veasey was a succession of Texas Democrats who promised to do everything in their power to kill GOP-backed legislation that would, among other things, force more active maintenance of voter rolls; ban drive-thru voting; codify poll-watchers' access to a voting area; ban unsolicited mail-in ballots and more.More Related News
