Speaking with the editor of the Texit Times, a spokesperson for Texas State Representative John Bucy, III (D) has stated that Rep. Bucy will not support the proposed legislation for a Texit referendum to be placed on the November ballot.
John H. Bucy III serves District 136, which includes western Williamson County, including Northwest Austin, Cedar Park, Leander, and the Brushy Creek area. He is a native Texan, small business owner, and former chair of the Williamson County (party) Party, Elected in 2018.
John was appointed to the House Committee on Elections and the House Committee on Culture, Recreation & Tourism for the 86th Legislative Session. He is chair of the Young Texans Legislative Caucus and was honored by his peers as House (party) Caucus Freshman of the Year.
Bucy is the author of HB 400. Filed in 2020, just after the November election, which if passed, would allow for, “Any qualified voter is eligible for early voting by mail or personal appearance.” In essence, Bucy authored a bill that would permit the same fraudulent activity witnessed in other States to occur here in Texas.
Rep. Bucy’s legislative intent to alter the State of Texas’ election laws is fairly evident by the bills that he has authored. He has authored HB 844, relating to the method of returning a ballot to be voted by mail; HB 845, Relating to the electronic transmission of a ballot to a voter voting early by mail on the ground of absence from the county of residence; HB 856, Relating to the registration of voters at a polling place and related procedures; HB 857, Relating to the procedures for voting after changing residence to another county.
None of Rep. Bucy’s bills have made it out of committee as of the date of publication.
