Travis County sues Ken Paxton over widening Texas crackdown on voter registration
The fight over voter registration in Texas Democratic-leaning cities is heating up.
In Tuesday, Travis County sued Texas state officials — including right-wing Attorney General Ken Paxton — over his repeated attempts to block the state’s urban counties from registering voters by mail.
“Today, Travis County, once again, fights back,” county attorney Delia Garza told reporters on Tuesday, The Texas Tribune reported. Travis County is home to the state’s capital, Austin.
The countersuit comes in the context of a tightening election — and less than three weeks before the critical Oct. 7 deadline to register Texans to vote.
