SB 7 changes do not create less suppression. Texas Secretary of State stated the 2020 election was “secure, smooth and safe”. She lost her job for speaking the truth. Evidence based legislative efforts are preferred. 64% of Republicans voted early in 2020. “HELLO”

🚨ALERT: Rep Michelle Beckley, Michelle Beckley , raises a point of order that the conference committee members went beyond their authority to OMIT text from #SB7 that was NOT in disagreement. Debate on the point of order kicks off, off microphone. #txlege

Less than two hours until the midnight deadline. If a vote is not taken on #SB7 in the House by then, it effectively dies. We can do this, y'all! If you're feeling up for it, join us in encouraging reps to keep up the fight against this racist bill. #txlege #TXDeservesBetter

House Democrats have walked off the floor leaving the chamber without a quorum to vote on Senate Bill 7, GOP priority voting bill. The bill must be passed by midnight to survive. #txlege

THANK YOU to the brave Texas House Democrats who effectively used the rules of the House to kill racist voter suppression bill, #SB7. Tonight, we successfully defended democracy. ✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿 #txlege #SineDie

About time. Let’s see more of this in the face of GOP commitment to undermining the right to vote: “‘We decided to come together and say we weren’t going to take it,’ state Rep. Jessica González (D) said in an interview after the walk-out.” washingtonpost.com/politics/texas…

Quick update, more to come: Outnumbered Democrats defeat Texas voting restriction bill with flurry of objections, and a walkout houstonchronicle.com/politics/texas… #txlege

Texas Democrats did what we could tonight but this fight is far from over. We won’t stop fighting until each and every eligible voter has true access to that ballot box. Now we call on Biden and the US Senate to pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Act and stop Texas GOP attacks

Thank you to all the Texas House Democrats Democrats who left the House floor last night to break quorum & kill voter suppression bill #SB7. Because of y’all, Texans know they have champions at the Capitol committed to defending their rights. ❤️ #txlege #GoodTrouble npr.org/2021/05/31/100…

1. The defeat of the Texas' voter suppression bill, which continued to get worse throughout the legislative process, did not happen on its own. It's due to the relentless work of activists. A few: ACLU of Texas Black Voters Matter Fund MOVE Texas Texas Civil Rights Project Common Cause Texas

Grateful to every single voter, advocate, artist, business leader, and elected who spoke out to protect the freedom to vote in Texas. We showed the world just how powerful we can be when we work together to fight for democracy. #txlege

My thermostat is set between permit-less carry & voter suppression. #TXLege

New: Greg Abbott has called a special #txlege session starting July 8. "Agenda items will be announced prior to the convening of the special session," his office says.

Gov. Abbott has called #txlege back for a special session not to fix our electric grid or expand Medicaid but to pass an elections bill that even R’s say is full of mistakes. Today ex-Pres. Trump admitted “TX has strong laws. [The election] ran smoothly.” See you on July 8th.
