• Carol Alvarado passes 12 hours speaking at state capitol
• Civil arrest warrants delivered to 50 absent Democrats
A Texas state senator continued her filibuster on Thursday morning of an elections bill in the latest tactic to extend the nation’s most visible standoff over voting rights.
Democrat Carol Alvarado began her filibuster shortly before 6pm on Wednesday by speaking indefinitely, although she admitted that was unlikely to stop the bill from passing. She must remain standing and speaking during the filibuster, which entered its 12th hour on Thursday morning.
