CONCORD, NEW HAMPSHIRE – This week, a Majority of Democrats in the Texas House of Representatives left Texas to deny House Republicans a quorum to continue a special session designed to erode voting rights in the state. In response, New Hampshire House Deputy Democratic Leader and Ranking Democrat on the House Election Law Committee Rep. David Cote (D-Nashua) released the following statement:
“The right-wing assault on voting rights nationwide is a disturbing and unconstitutional abuse of power to which New Hampshire is no stranger. This year, we have seen House and Senate Republicans in New Hampshire prioritize making it harder for Granite Staters to vote just as their colleagues in Texas and across the country are. The House Democratic caucus extends our support to Texas Democrats and all Americans in the righteous fight to preserve our Democratic freedoms.”
