Ken Paxton sues Travis County to block voter registration efforts [View all]
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is suing Travis County to block an effort to register more voters before the November election.
The Texas Tribune and Votebeat obtained a draft copy of the lawsuit.
Paxton's lawsuit follows a decision by the Travis County commissioners to hire Civic Government Solutions to contact non-registered county residents and encourage them to register. Travis County includes Austin.
"We just thought it was nice thing to do," said Ann Howard, a Travis County Commissioner at The Texas Tribune Festival shortly after news of the lawsuit was made public.
