Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has filed a lawsuit in an effort to stop Bexar County officials from mailing residents voter registration forms.
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has filed a lawsuit in an effort to stop Bexar County officials from mailing residents voter registration formsBexar County officials moved forward Tuesday with a plan to mail county residents voter registration forms, defying Attorney General Ken Paxton ’s threat to use “all available legal means” to quash the effort.
“I have a personal view on who I would like to win the federal election. That is not to say that the contracts that we undertake with governments are in any way partisan,” said Jeremy Smith, CEO of Civic Government Solutions. Paxton’s legal threat was the latest in a series of recent moves by Texas Republican leaders who say they are trying to protect the security of the state’s election systems and voter rolls ahead of the highly charged November election. A group of Democratic state lawmakers asked the Justice Department last week to investigate the recent spate of election-related actions, saying they were “sowing fear and will suppress voting” among communities of color.
Paxton has routinely accused Democrats, without evidence, of adopting more permissive immigration policies in a bid to win elections by harnessing noncitizen votes — an argument he reprised last month, falsely telling conservative talk show host Glenn Beck that Democrats’ plan was to “tell the cartels, ‘Get people here as fast as possible, as many as possible.’”
