On Monday, nearly all 67 Texas state representatives flew in private planes to Washington D.C. in an attempt to block GOP bills that would add stricter voter ID laws.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs soon as they come back in the state of Texas, they will be arrested,\u201d Gov. Greg Abbott (R-Texas) asserted. \u201cThey will be cabined inside the Texas Capitol until they get their job done.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Rep. Nicole Collier (D-Texas) spoke with press and claimed the only option left was to flee the state because it denied legislature quorum to pass the GOP\u2019s voter reform bills, which aimed to add new ID requirements for citizens voting by mail.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe had no other option. There was nothing left to give and so we took a stand,\u201d she stated. \u201cWe left the state of Texas because that was the best and the right thing to do at the right time.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Landed in D.C.
