Texas Gov. Greg Abbott said that he’s calling for the state Legislature to pass several voting reform measures after it began a special session last week.

Abbott, who called for the special legislative session, suggested in an interview on July 11 that voting reform is a priority for him. The lawmakers were called back after Democrats blocked a Republican-backed election reform package from advancing by leaving the state Capitol building on May 30.
