For the first time in over four years of putting out “Daily Voting News” with only a one or two day break ‘DVN’ is going on a hiatus beginning after tomorrow’s edition and for a week. We will be back on Friday, June 1.

 

The Texas Voter ID bill has gone down in flames in and my new hero, State Senator Mario Gallegos has returned to be under his doctor’s care. Gallegos said, “"It's time to go home and do what the doctors tell me. It's something that had to be done. If I hadn't been here, they would have passed it." Meanwhile US Senate Minority Leader, Mitch McConnell has submitted an amendment to the immigration bill presently being heard in the Senate that would do the very thing that Senator Gallegos  risked his health to stop.
