Travis County officials sued Attorney General Ken Paxton and Secretary of State Jane Nelson on Tuesday over the state’s attempt to block attempts to sign up more voters ahead of a hotly contested presidential election.

The new federal lawsuit escalates a pre-election war between Republican state officials and Democratic urban county leaders over voter registration efforts and accuses Texas officials of violating the National Voter Registration Act. Developments in the ongoing battle continue unfolding as the Oct. 7 deadline to sign up to vote looms.

"Today, Travis County, once again, fights back," Travis County Attorney Delia Garza said during a press conference Tuesday.

Paxton's office didn't immediately respond to requests for comment Tuesday.

2. Paxton will have his big boys send him a legal team paid for one of his buddies.

He’s a criminal.
