Texas Governor Greg Abbott is planning to call a special legislative session in Austin later this summer, which critics claim could be used to further undermine the Voting Rights Act in the state. The move has been described as an attempt to mock the federal law and restrict voting rights for minority groups. The session would allow lawmakers to revisit bills that have stalled or were not passed during the regular legislative session. This move comes after Abbott's efforts to implement voter ID laws and other election restrictions in Texas.
