was referred to the ,committee on the ,judiciary ,,resolution ,supporting the members of the #hgth ,texas ,legislature who embraced a noble stand against the ,state's egregious assault on free and fair elections4 ,whereas more than #ej current ,state representatives of the special session of the #hgth ,texas ,legislature left the ,state to deny the #aej-member body the required two-thirds quorum1 preventing a heinous voting suppression bill from passing2 ,whereas the ,state representatives and senators of the #hgth ,texas ,legislature who have vowed not to participate in a quorum during this special legislative session1 even under the looming threat of arrest1 should be commended2 ,whereas the ,state senators of the #hgth ,texas ,legislature that left the ,state of ,texas1 as well as the members of the ,texas senate that decided to stay and vote no on ,texas ,senate ,bill #a1 should be recognized2 ,whereas members of the ,texas ,house ,democratic ,caucus and senators of

voting rights1 especially for marginalized communities2 ,whereas ,texas ,house ,bill #c would ban drive-through voting and #bd-;hour voting1 limit the distribution of mail-in ballot applications1 and require new ,,id requirements for voting by mail2 ,whereas this coalition of the courageous joins the ranks of a group of ,texas representatives and senators who employed the procedural walkout tactic in #bjjc to delay votes on mid-,census redistricting2 ,whereas ,texas ,house ,bill #c is one of many recent iterations of ,state-sanctioned voter suppression reported across the ,united ,states1 with an overall total of #chi voter restriction bills introduced in #dh ,states during #bjba legislative sessions according to the ,brennan ,center2 ,whereas1 due to the increase in voter restriction and suppression legislation coupled with the upcoming #efth anniversary of the enactment of the ,voting ,rights ,act of #aife1 it is imperative that ,congress pass ,h4,r4 #a1 the ,for the ,people ,act1 and ,h4,r4 #d1 the ,john ,lewis ,voting ,rights ,advancement ,act1 to preserve the right to free1 fair1 and safe elections for all ,americans2 and ,whereas #gi ,texas ,democrats fought against ,texas
