Travis County sues Paxton over voter registration efforts - Austin Monitor
Briefly

"Defendant Attorney General Ken Paxton does not want at least some eligible Texans to register to vote. To facilitate that goal, he has engaged in a campaign, using the power of his office to act on behalf of the State to selectively sue, threaten, and harass County officials - including Plaintiffs - as well as nonprofit organizations across Texas, seeking to prevent them from facilitating voter registration and participation."
"The Texas Attorney General thinks he is above the law. If Ken Paxton won't fight for you ... Travis County will fight for you."
"Paxton claimed in a news release that the company hired by Travis County was 'partisan' and that the county's efforts to identify unregistered potential voters were therefore unlawful."
"Garza has filed a federal lawsuit against Paxton on behalf of all members of the Travis County Commissioners Court and Elfant. In addition, she filed a motion to remove Paxton's lawsuit from Travis County to federal court."
