but, laura, this is not over. because as was pointed out in that prelude, we have special sessions that last 30 days. and the governor calls them and i will continue calling special session after special session because over time, it's going to continue until list above to vote. but i have to point this out. the thesis that they are operating under is completely false because with a texas law does doesn't hinder anybody abilities to vote. interestingly, when texas is seeking to do is add additional hours to vote. texas had 12 days of early voting and hours of which will be expanded, and will ensure that hours are expended on election day also so their entire thesis is completely wrong. and compare early voting in texas with early voting that we have in delaware. texas has 12 days of early voting, delaware has zero days of early voting. why am i picking on delaware? because that is where the president himself voted in the last election. and if anybody wants to talk about voter suppression, they should be talking ab
