Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton (R) is suing one of the state’s most populous counties to block its plan to mail out over 200,000 voter registration forms to residents who are eligible to vote but aren’t registered.

The Bexar County Commissioners Court voted Tuesday to hire a third-party vendor for $392,700 to print and send out 210,000 applications “in hopes of getting 75,000 new registrants,” according to Paxton’s lawsuit, which cites the court’s meeting agenda. The case was filed in state district court.

The company hired by the council, Civic Government Solutions (CGS), has sent “more than 10 million mailers since 2018 and has registered approximately 2 million people since 2018,” the complaint says.
