I vote we shutdown the government and do away with governments and politicians. You want anything done right and want someone who actually know about economy ask a businessman or woman. Never trust politics and politicians
I just wish some democrat would produce a person, who can legally vote, who could not for any reason. Lets see this person. Let them explain the big difficulty.

Lies, whoever wrote this and approved it should be fired and sued.
Drive through at Burger King picking a value meal….vs picking a leader of the country! Got it!
Takes away options to commit fraud!
Good for Texas, im all for it
Sight seeing tour on tax payers dime.
Liberal News: Blacks can’t get ID in America therefor this bill is ‘restrictive’.
The Democrats are all losers
Democrat’s breaking quorum, over voting rights, is tantamount to an admission against interest. As they enjoy and exercise the right/privilege of normative quorum voting rules, safeguarding the manifest value of their individual house votes. Whilst simultaneously working to subvert and deny the Texas citizenry similar voting protections, via the imports of their proposed “voting rights” legislation and quorum breaking walk out. Accordingly, democrat’s current “quorum breaking” stance is contradictory and irreconcilable with the subject matter of their proposed “voting rights” legislation. (Estoppel in Pais)
ARREST ALL THESE DELLUSIONAL DEMOCRAT SCUM BAG, LAZY, CRY BABY, USELESS PIECES OF GARBAGE!!
When you veto or filibuster a piece of legislation that's a part of the democratic process, walking out of your job and away from your constitutional duties, isn't. There might be a slight comparison, but it's not the same.
They have no good arguments against the bill. So they run like cowards. I hope they keep walking right out of the United States.
Fine! It will be so much easier for the Republicans to win Texas next year. Thanks Democrats.
Mocking the people who voted for them by not wearing masks on the airplane. Saying people of color don’t know how to get a ID is saying this group of people are idiots.
Democrats hate America, but why?
Democrats are opposed to proof of voting rights? Then maybe we shouldn't have to show id when buying firearms either!
Texas Democrats: To us it’s not voter integrity if minorities vote for republicans. We have owned their asses forever via welfare entitlements etc. It’s not fair if they then vote for the other party. That’s all we’re saying. U feel us??
Democrats with the support of the media will lie to you , the bill just reinforces and strengthens the voting process. I didn't see one thing in it that says about discriminates vs minorities. Democrats will use racism for everything, they will lose the house in 2022 and possibly the senate.. Dems racism claims are getting old, I know because I used to vote for them until seeing they use the color of the skin.
No ID no vote
I dunno, Doesn’t Colorado require a photo copy of a state ID with a mail in ballot? But Texas recommends just writing down the number of a state or federal ID on your mail in ballot, and suddenly it’s restricting the vote and is a civil war? Dramatic Democratic National Socialists
good, GOP grifters shouldn't be able to make voting harder without a fight. i fully support this and any republican who sees a problem with these reps leaving the state to protect voting should go talk to ted cruz about fleeing to cancun while people in our state died due to the snowstorms and power outages.
Mimi is lying. Anyone who lives in Texas has an ID card already. They just have to use it to vote.
Thank God Texas was able to pass the bill without the degenerate Democrats.
THE REPUBLANS IN WASHINGTON SHOULD WALK OUT AS WELL IN THE DEMOCRAT CONTROLLED WHITE HOUSE AND CONGRESS.
Oh I love how these radical liberals talk about protecting democracy. They’ve been destroying democracy for decades. They’ve somehow been able to brainwash a lot of the country into believing their lies and garbage. Governor Abbet is doing a great job. I hope he arrests every single coward/Democrat that fled the state because they weren’t going to get their way. All states should require a voter ID to vote. If you don’t have an ID like a drivers license, then you have a Social Security number. If you don’t have a Social Security number, then you probably shouldn’t be allowed to vote. It’s that simple. I’m not sure how that’s restricting in anyway. The United States has a process to obtain citizenship. Nothing is free.
I'd honestly rather be called a bitch than to be called a democrat!! Lowest of low
They need to change their party's name; this is NOT democratic when representatives refuse their duty to vote on issues.
Wow more fake news and fake headlines. Read the bill!
The bill is pretty milk toast in fact. It actually is weaker in protections against voter fraud than what existed before COVID. ABC is of course lying as usual.
I wonder if they had a problem showing their ID to get on the plane to Washington DC?
ABC is a bunch of LYING BITCHES !!!!!! What Fucking restrictions ????? They just don't want Democrats to CHEAT !!!!!! Prove me fucking wrong !!!!!!!!!!!!
Texas needs a committee to sue these politicians to refund their salaries to the people of Texas while they are fugitives!
I vote in Ohio. We had to show ID for as long as I can remember. No one in our part of the state ever complained. Black or White.
Democrats are pushing this CRAP so they can cheat, rig, buy ballots, dump ballots, abuse absentee ballots by fraud, intimidate people at the polls.
This providing voters at the polls with water, is a bunch of bullshit, vote then go get something to drink elsewhere. Never heard of anything so freaking stupid.
Give it to the Democrats to come up with this kind of garbage to stir people up. They think their Democrat voting base is ignorant. Jim Crow this and Jim Crow that.
The Democratic Party WROTE THE JIM CROW LAWS !!!! The Democrats STARTED THE KU KLUX KLAN !!! THE Democrats BEAT THE HELL OUT OF BLACK DEMONSTRATORS CROSSING THE EDMUND PETTIS BRIDGE !!!!! READ YOUR AMERICAN HISTORY !!! Don't be stupid like they think you are!!!!! Research the history before the Marxist remove it from the history books.
Ye the dems cheated fosholy
A 100% Example of Democrat Voter Suppression! The Voter Fraud Democrats making a stand! This Voter Fraud advocate is lying through her teeth!
Texas republicans advance the integrity of our elections while liberals seek to subvert the rights of Americans and weaken our election process.
95% of welfare recipients VOTE DEMOCRAT while living off Republicans money. Give Democrats their own country own money
I can guarantee you I can vote in 17 states in one election with early voting same day registration. No problem. Assholes.
To Dumb ass cocksuckers at ABC news. I voted on one election day needing ID since 1972. Obama ran ID was outlawed in 2008.
" (Trumpian) Texas lawmakers advance voting restrictions…" thereby reminding us, yet again, that #Jan621 Insurrectionist #DJT is "utterly incompetent" as per the words of both his own Federal Judge elder-sister Maryanne Trump Barry and his own Clinical Psychologist niece Dr. Mary Trump. May #Imp2POTUS45 always hear "You're fired" via the unwavering reality of election results that reject him who is the cause of #MourningInAmerica.
….why…maybe because they can't win without cheating.
We all know the game, allow the border crossings and make those non citizens vote blue, turning Texas blue unfairly. Somehow you agree with that. Texas says no and they can according to the U.S. Constitution.
What about the border, who’s not doing their job protecting the border, no mention of that you stupid two-faced bitch is
Communist propaganda. This walk out is voter suppression. If they walk out vote without them.
