Nearly all Texas state senators, including all Democrats except for one, voted for a joint resolution that would add a constitutional amendment to the ballot clarifying that voters must be U.S. citizens.
Senate Joint Resolution 35, filed by Sen. Brian Birdwell, R-Granbury, passed the Texas Senate by a vote of 29-1 this week with one senator absent. It is now in the Texas House. If the House passes the resolution, the proposed constitutional amendment would be added to the Nov. 7, 2023, ballot for voters to approve or reject.
At a hearing on the resolution, Birdwell said the amendment was necessary to ensure election integrity.
