Do you mean the redistricting in Texas? That’s why the Dem reps left the state, because they know they would lose the vote, but if they deny “quorum” (aka that there’s enough people to hold a session of the legislature) then a vote can’t be held.
Oh so that’s why they left? I was so confused about that situation because either PBS never said why or I missed it. Nor did any discussions I read about it.
