Surrounded by her Democratic colleagues, @CarolforTexas says she has stood for the last several hours for her constituents — the people who took advantage of the voting options SB1 would ban.
"Why can't we have expanded voting hours for the people who have worked late?" #txlege

And at just about 8:55 a.m., Alvarado ended her filibuster and finally walked off the floor. #txlege
And just shortly after the end of @CarolforTexas 15-hour filibuster, the Senate votes to pass its voting bill, Senate Bill 1, on an 18-11 party-line vote #txlege
