In case you missed it, there’s a major battle over voting rights unfolding in Texas.
John,
In case you missed it, Republicans are trying to gerrymander the state of Texas by redrawing Congressional maps in a racially biased way that gives them five new GOP-leaning districts. This is a massive power-grab backed by Donald Trump.
The Texas House of Representatives requires 100 members to conduct business, so Democratic members courageously broke quorum and left the state in order to block a vote on this bill.
Now, Republican Governor Greg Abbott and his far-right administration are threatening to expel, detain, or even ARREST these courageous lawmakers.

Meanwhile, Trump is suggesting the FBI may need to get involved and insists the GOP is “entitled” to these House seats.

This is NOT normal or okay, John. What Republicans are doing isn’t just an attack on voting rights and fair representation in Texas: it’s a threat to our democracy across the country.
None of this would be possible if courts didn’t water down voting rights laws over the years. This is a perfect example of why our courts are critical, and why we need your help to rebalance them after Trump and the GOP stacked them with far-right judges.
