the update:
Attorney
General Ken Paxton is warning Bexar and Harris counties that he will sue
if they move forward with proposals to mail out voter registration forms en masse to residents.
Despite
the threat, Bexar County commissioners voted on Tuesday to move forward with
the effort, saying they disagreed with Paxton's legal assessment.
In
letters addressed to county commissioners on Sunday, Paxton cautioned that the
distribution of forms could include people who are ineligible to vote, which
would confuse residents about whether they can legally vote in November.
