Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has sent a letter to Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo and the county commissioners, warning them not to proceed with a proposed plan to mail out voter registration forms to individuals who have not requested them.
Paxton cautions that the plan to pay third-party vendors to print and mail voter registration forms could lead to ineligible voters violating state law by attempting to register. He said, "It is unlawful and reckless for counties to use taxpayer dollars to indiscriminately send voter registration forms with no consideration of the recipients’ eligibility and without any statutory authority to do so. These counties’ attempts to do so after the Biden-Harris Administration has allowed millions of illegal aliens to enter the country are especially troubling."
Harris County avoided voting on the issue after public outcry last week, while Bexar County is set to vote on the issue today. Paxton says if either county passes the measure, he will file a lawsuit.
