Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has filed a lawsuit against Travis County, which includes Austin, to block an effort to register more voters before the November election. Paxton’s suit follows a decision by the Travis County Commissioners Court to hire Civic Government Solutions to contact non-registered county residents and encourage them to register to vote.
The lawsuit stated that Travis County’s move to pursue the registration effort would “create confusion, facilitate fraud [and] undermine confidence in elections.”
