Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton on Friday filed a lawsuit against Travis County, which includes the capital of Austin and is the fifth most populous county in the state, over its voter registration policies.
In a lawsuit filed in the District Court of Travis County, the attorney’s office alleged that Travis County hired a third-party company to aid in voter registration, which Paxton said runs afoul of the law. The firm in question, Civic Government Solutions, is a “partisan organization” because its CEO had made public comments about his interest in “progressive” politics, the suit says.
