Doesn't matter..... They don't use the rules to further the interest of the majority they use them specifically and perversely to deny a fair split of the the voter representation. Abbot already explained that the Texas Dems have constructed a network of illicit race based voting blocks despite the district lines...he's merely responding to their aggression in that regard by using his perfectly legitimate authority.
Arrest these demafacist! They are terrorist undermining the rule of law and our democratic institutions!Those warrants Abbot and Costello issued ae CIVIL WARRENTS and NOT valid outside of Tex-Ass.

he Texas House voted Monday afternoon to track down and arrest more than 50 Democratic lawmakers who were not present when the chamber gaveled in. After the 85-6 vote, House Speaker Dustin Burrows said he would immediately sign civil warrants for each of the legislators, empowering the chamber’s sergeant-at-arms and state troopers to arrest and bring them to the Capitol.
They will not face civil or criminal charges from the arrests. The warrants apply only within state lines, making them largely symbolic as most of the legislators in question decamped to Illinois, New York and Massachusetts to forestall passage of the GOP’s proposed redraw of Texas’ congressional map.

It's in the works.... Not a special election but a removal and a Governor's appointment....to be followed by an election. In other words they will have to run for their seats before the term is up
Extremely unlikely. Court precedent appears to support that they can legally do that. They can be arrested and brought back theoretically though.
Its terrible. It makes a mockery of the right to vote.
Dems, elected to work, fleeing the state to avoid voting makes a mockery of the right to vote and our democracy
And yet it is prevalent in every state
They can be removed.... It will take time though.
Many states. Some are governed by bilateral commissions etc. This is a better way.
At least Abbott is protecting the rights of voters from these demafasict
States like Cali are done by people appointed by the governor
He is jawboning.
Yes a bipartisan commission.
In my opinion that's the way it should be I'm not sure that it will be that way.... However running out of the state is not an acceptable alternative and does open them up to removal.
there is nothing bipartisan about Gavin Newsome appointing people.
