Atlanta, GA – Today, Texas lawmakers will reconvene for a special 30-day legislative session that will include action on a voting reform bill designed to strengthen election integrity. In response, Tea Party Patriots Action Honorary Chairman Jenny Beth Martin issued the following statement:

“We thank Governor Abbott for calling the Texas Legislature into special session and continuing to prioritize common-sense election reform.  The vast majority of Texans and the vast majority of Americans want voting laws that make it easy to vote and hard to cheat.  We look forward to Texas joining other states such as Georgia, Florida, and Arizona that recently strengthened their voting laws to heighten election integrity. Additionally, we will continue to oppose left-wing activists who demand a national takeover of elections, which the Founders wanted to be administered by the states.”
