 Debate on SB1, a controversial statewide election bill, finally got underway in the Texas House Thursday.

Before they can vote, legislators have to wade through 64 amendments, according to the Texas Tribune. By 3:30 p.m., they'd only debated 14 of them.

The Republican-backed bill would mean big changes -- including no more drive-thru voting or 24-hour voting -- used by more than 130,000 Harris County voters in the 2020 election.
