Texas Democrats Leave The State In An Effort To Block GOP Voting Restrictions

didn't work in Wisconsin......won't work in Texas.......besides, they have further to drive......

Most of them flew and they're already in DC saying that federal legislation is the only way to stop Republicans' evil and un-American attempts to disenfranchise citizens.
 
Like petulant six-year-olds throwing a tantrum, this is what Democrats do when they don't get their way. They've done it before in other states. There have been a few cases of Republicans doing this too, but far less regularly than Democrats.
When the Republicans do walk out, the Democrats get really nastily upset. They are almost universally and instantly willing to use force of law to track down and force Republicans to return so they can get their way. Republicans are less virulent in their actions to bring Democrats back.

On a related note... Isn't this really just a form of a filibuster? I thought Democrats were against this practice. Hypocrites anyone?

You’re right over the target.

There are several reasons democrats hate Trump, for example. A big one is that Trump is a reflection of themselves in the sense that he plays to win and he’ll play mean. Democrats never did figure out to handle him because it’s almost as if he’s one of their own.

Democrats want their ‘controlled opposition’ party back in Republicans Inc. The malleable RINO’s that will go along to get along and curl up in the fetal position the minute some lefty hurls the R-word at them.

Damned right, they hated Trump. That must never be allowed to happen again.
 
Demmycrats moving out of the state permanently might work, but nothing gets done till they come back and vote on the bill.....I doubt people will re-elect congressmen who hide from their jobs.....

Odds are that the Democrats are doing exactly what their constituents want. Democrats want people to vote. Republicans don't.
 
Solutions searching for a problem is close. Texas Republicans are racists in action searching for cover.

The Republican party is over. Most of the state legislatures they control are only due to election cheating and gerrymandering. They know that the only way they can win elections is to prevent non-white people from voting. That they are trying is the depths of human depravity.

Will America fall for "compassionate conservatism" again? That can buy them some time to increase their health power, cubes and trophies and come back with a hate filled vengeance to dominate minecraft once more.

If you can prove that then the law is illegal and will be overturned.
 
Yet you have no problem with ID requirements for purchasing guns or liquor.

Pull your panties out of your crack. I don't oppose any and all voter ID requirements, but how would you like people who are voting by mail to show an ID? To whom would you like them to show it?

Never heard of that. Even googled it and still don't really get an answer. :confused:,

A person can't vote by mail unless he specifically requests to vote by mail.

Amazing that third world countries demand more secure voting than dims.

They don't have free and fair elections, dumbass.

More difficult? What was wrong with voting booths? Absentee ballots that were applied for? Oh, makes it a little more difficult to commit fraud. I see.
BTW, It’s fucking glorious that white people combined outnumber non-white people in Idaho.

Nothing's wrong with voting booths. You can still use one if you're nearly a century old and can't figure out how to put a stamp on an envelope. Meanwhile, there is no problem with fraud. There never was. You're just unable to think for yourself and believe Trump's Big Lie. Sad!
 
EUROPEAN CHRISTIAN culture, you damned sneeky lying Devil. Europeans made up about 90% of America's population up until the late 1950's. But then that droopy-eyed worthless DEMOCRAT President by the name of Lyndon Johnson passed the 1965 Immigration Act. And ever since that time the lawless Africans, along with peoples from all other non-European shit-hole countries of the world, have been flooding our land. And today we're seeing the results of it.....
A nation that was once the most Christian nation/people on the face of the planet, is now a hell-hole awaiting the judgment of God.

A Christian country. You realize, don't you, that the only people who still vote Republican are extremely stupid racists and mostly very, very old? Non-white people have always lived on this land. In fact, non-white people were here long before you European Christians showed up to rape the people, steal the land, and build one of the most evil empires that has ever stained the face of the planet.

The better angels of the US's nature only manifested after the Civil War when slaves were freed and then more importantly, after WWII (which the US won thanks in large part to non-white non-Christians) when voting rights and civil rights were expanded and the territorial claims took their independence.

In fact, the US has been most evil when it has been most white. The best thing that will ever happen to this country will be white people slipping into the minority and being unceremoniously stripped of their unearned privilege and power.
 
"Today, Texas House Democrats stand united in our decision to break quorum and refuse to let the Republican-led legislature force through dangerous legislation that would trample on Texans' freedom to vote," a statement from House Democratic leaders said.

Good. Do whatever it takes to keep the dying, white majority from disenfranchising the rest of us. While Republicans can only win by cheating, Democrats continue to use the rules of the game to gain advantage. They're stupid; but I support their move in this case.

Democrats have always been the pussy-wussy out party, this is no surprise.

'Once they step back into the state of Texas, they will be arrested and brought to the Texas capital and we will be conducting business.'

They would be arrested under a procedure known as 'a call of the House', which allows law enforcement to track down lawmakers who have already fled the chamber.

Funding for the legislative session ends on Sept. 1, so Abbott can try to arrest them, but there won't be any staff in the Capitol to be able to do anything.

yeah, that's what the lying demmycunts of Wisconsin said in 2011 as well.......nobody believed them, the law passed anyway and lots of them didn't get re-elected.........now it is the lib'ruls of Texas who are taking their turn at looking stupid.......
 
Ah poor babies throwing a hissy fit... they will be arrested the minute they set foot back on TX soil

We'll see. Lots of voters in all of the states are looking at TX Republicans and wondering why they want to disenfranchise American citizens. The Democrats are going to eventually lose their fight in TX, but my sense is that right now they are accomplishing exactly what they wanted to accomplish.
