Nearly 60 Texas Democrat state representatives have fled the Lone Star state, abandoning their legislative offices, their districts, and their constituents, all to prevent the legislature from having the quorum to carry on business.

The reason? The majority Republicans intend to vote for a redistricting plan that would cost the states Democrat representatives to the US House several seats—perhaps as many as five—and in particular would likely drive Progressive idols Jasmine Crockett and Al Green out of office. 

Governor Greg Abbott isn’t taking any of this laying down, however, and he’s using every legal means at his disposal to hold these run-away, feckless and cowardly Democrat representatives accountable for having fled their responsibilities and their constituents, and for locking up the entire Texas legislature from also voting out desperately needed aid for the victims of the terrible recent floods. 

Abbott has now turned to the Texas Supreme Court with a demand that they find these representatives have abandoned their legislative seats—with particular specificity for the Chair of the Texas House Democratic Caucus, Representative Gene Wu, who fled the state with other Democrats. Having these runaway Democrat reps declared absent  would create an instant quorum of the remaining representatives present in the state house.  

The Supreme Court, in turn, has demanded a substantive response from Representative Wu by 5PM tomorrow—OR ELSE.
