Texas AG Paxton Sues Bexar County Over Voter Registration
News summary

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has filed a lawsuit against Bexar County, challenging its plan to mail unsolicited voter registration forms to unregistered residents. Paxton argues that the county lacks the legal authority to send these applications, claiming it could lead to election fraud by registering ineligible voters. This lawsuit follows a recent vote by Bexar County commissioners to approve a $392,700 contract for the mailings, despite Paxton's warnings. County officials contend that the initiative aims to increase voter turnout rather than promote fraud, asserting that they do not influence how individuals vote. The case highlights ongoing tensions between state and county authorities regarding voter registration practices in Texas. Additionally, Paxton has recently sued the Biden Administration over a rule restricting state law enforcement investigations, asserting it undermines Texas's authority.
