80th Lege: Expect Fireworks In The House Today Over HB 626
Vince Leibowitz | Apr 30, 2007 | Comments 0
House Bill 626, the idiotic bill which would require a person desiring to register to vote prove their citizenship through a birth certificate, passport, or naturalization papers, will come back to the House Floor today.
We’ve told you about HB 626 before. It would end voter registration drives as we know them in Texas forever.
I’m hearing rumblings that there may be as many as four Republicans prepared to defect on this one and vote “no,” but that we may lose as many as nine Democrats (not all “Craddick D’s”)—who will either pair their votes, be absent for the final vote, or simply vote for the bill.
