Election Day rapid response legal teams are being deployed in major Texas counties by the state’s attorney general to monitor polling stations, enforce election laws, and address any issues that arise, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton’s office said in a Nov. 4 statement.

The teams are ready to deal with “issues seen in previous cycles,” such as extended polling location closures, ballot shortages, and improper extension of voting hours, according to Paxton’s office.
