Alvarado closes her speech, repeating "Voter suppression anywhere is a threat to democracy everywhere" and receives applause from her Democratic colleagues who had surrounded her in her closing statements. They hug her and she walks off the Senate floor #txlege
A substantial percentage of Texas mail-in ballots would be automatically rejected under a glitch in the proposed Texas election law. (Or maybe it’s intentional.) https://t.co/nlWijIElc1
