Last week we witnessed the beginnings of a standoff between the dems and the Republican lawmakers in Texas. As the battle for voting restrictions continues across the country, certain states are making gains for the Republican party.
The Republicans have been working hard to advance two very important voting bills, which would call for greater election security.
Unfortunately, it can’t be easy. The dems refuse to have a say in any legislation that does not cater to their every need.
A group of dem lawmakers fled to Washington, D.C. to avoid voting on the GOP’s sweeping elections overhaul bills. By fleeing the state, they deprived the state legislature of the two-thirds quorum they needed to vote.
The proposed legislation would add new ID requirements for mail-in ballots, prohibit 24-hour polling locations, drive-through voting, and ballot drop boxes.
The dems love running from their problems… but Texas Gov. Greg Abbott was quick to call them out for their lack of responsibility, and criticize them for ignoring their duties.
Abbott insisted that the dems will face consequences, saying that “once they step back into the state they will be arrested and brought back to the Capitol and we will be conducting business.”
This is not their first walkout; in May Texas democrats prevented an earlier version of the voting legislation from passing…
It seems like the only thing the dems know how to do is throw tantrums and run away, the dems are just toddlers.
Gov. Abbott is tired of the chase but insists that these tactics won’t work. He told Fox News that he was prepared to hold out until “they step up to vote.”
Rep. Representatives are doing what they can to make the dems return and actually face this legislation head-on. They’ve authorized Texas state troopers to find and bring any missing legislators back to the Texas capitol.
Texas House speaker Dade Phelan (R-Beaumont) has also chartered a plane to sit in Washington and bring the absentee lawmakers back to the session.
The dems are trying to run out the clock, hoping they can get congress to pass federal legislation against voting restrictions before time runs out.
The Republican party just recently blocked one of the most ambitious voting rights legislation to come before Congress in generations, thoroughly putting the dems in their place.
To make matters worse, the mainstream media shows off the dems as ‘warriors’, when we know that if the Republicans were acting this way, the media would have a field day calling them out for dereliction of duty at the state taxpayer’s expense…
This long-standing battle is only dragging out the inevitable, it’s about time the dems saw some reason and made a decision for Americans instead of themselves.
