AUSTIN, Texas (AP) â Texas Republicans advanced bills Sunday that would make voting harder in a state that already has some of the nationâs toughest restrictions after hundreds spoke against the proposals â with some waiting to speak for almost 24 hours.
Republicans made clear they intended to advance a new election bill â which would prohibit 24-hour polling places, ban drop boxes and stop drive-thru voting â this weekend, with a first major vote on the proposals expected this week. That timeline is pushing some Democratic lawmakers toward calling for a second walkout to again stop the restrictions from moving forward like they did in May when they broke quorum.
