“...But the Texas Democrats say they can only delay Republican majorities in their state legislature for so long, and if their party truly wants to back their fight over voting in Texas, they say the pressure is on Democratic senators — and President Joe Biden — to act with federal legislation.
“We have a short window here,” state House Democratic caucus chair Chris Turner told reporters at a press conference outside the U.S. Capitol. “We can’t hold this tide back forever. We’re buying some time. We need Congress and all our federal leaders to use that time wisely.””
Voter suppression is here and it is important that all efforts are put towards stopping it and ensuring all people have easy access to voting polls and an ability to effortlessly cast their vote. The greater voter participation, the more people in America will feel part of a community and be willing to invest in their communities to make life better for everyone. Ripping away the right to vote only helps to fray the fabric that keeps us together as a unified country.
