Montague County Commissioners handled a routine agenda of business Monday and received an unexpected visit from District 30 State Sen. Drew Springer (R-Muenster) as the meeting was about to adjourn.
He was invited to give the court an update on the special session. Springer said they were “waiting on the Democrats” to return as they recently left the session in protest of election reform being pushed forward by Republicans. Springer said election integrity is the key and driving all changes.
“The turnout here in Montague County is phenomenal and you always have so many early voting locations,” said the senator. “The hypocrisy is they want to see House Resolution 4 Voting Rights Advancement Act, but they oppose it for our 254 counties.”
