Texas Democratic lawmakers who left the state earlier this week in an effort to block passage of a GOP elections bill are getting financial assistance from Willie Nelson and former Rep. Beto O'Rourke (D-Texas) as they advocate for voting rights in the nation's capital.
According to the Dallas Morning News, O'Rourke, whose national profile soared in 2018 as he campaigned to unseat Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), has helped raise more than $525,000 to cover the Texas Democratic legislators' expenses during their stay in Washington, D.C.
Nelson has also donated $5,000 to the cause, the paper reports, while encouraging others to donate.
Among the proposals included in the legislation that Democrats say will make it harder for people to vote in the state are measures that would put in place limits on early voting and curbside voting, bar round-the-clock voting centers and limit drop boxes.
