Rep. Briscoe Cain (R) defends SB 7 on Texas House Floor
It was at 3 a.m. Friday that HB6/SB7, the Republican voter restriction bill, won initial approval by the Texas House. But that didn t happen without some conflict and drama along the way.
Even Democratic lawmakers opposed to SB7 admitted during floor debate that Republican support of this Governor Abbott priority item was going to pass this bill no matter what.
But what Democrats had in their favor was the sloppy work of Elections Committee Chairman Briscoe Cain.
While defending his bill Cain continued to appear to be flustered and unprepared to answer detailed questions about how it would be implemented and enforced.
