Texas Gov. Greg Abbott announced that he would convene a second special legislative session in a bid to pass Republicans’ election reform bill after Democrats fled the state to prevent its passage.
Though expected, the session is kicking off Saturday, nearly a month before it was originally planned to begin. It comes almost a month after over 50 Democrats in the state legislature fled to Washington, D.C., in order to prevent a quorum and block Republicans from passing the state’s election reform bill as a result.
