Rolling Stone Texas Democrats to Leave State as GOP Renews Attack on Voting Rights

By Associated Press
Once again, the Texas GOP is pushing forward a bill that would suppress voting in the state, and once again, Democratic legislators in the state are planning to leave the state to stop it from passing.
At least 58 Democratic lawmakers intend to fly to the nation’s capital where they will participate in a rally in support of federal voting legislation, NBC News reported. The federal bill, the For the People Act, would expand voting rights across the country, ban partisan gerrymandering and reform the campaign finance system.
