  • Summary

  • Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is accused of running a voter intimidation campaign. Travis County officials claim Paxton used his office to suppress voters, launching an intimidation campaign to discourage voter registration. The county, home to Austin, alleges Paxton and Texas Secretary of State Jane Nelson forced the state to sue the county for sending voter registration forms to likely-eligible voters who are not registered, breaking federal voting law. Travis County Judge Andy Brown and other officials say Paxton's actions are meant to pressure local government officials to stop efforts required by federal law to register voters. The county started a voter registration outreach program in July to reach likely-eligible unregistered voters no matter their political leanings. Officials insist the voter registration drive was part of their duty to encourage voter engagement. Paxton's office says they had no right to encourage voter registration by sending out forms. The county is asking the court to rule that the voter registration drive was legal and Paxton's actions were a violation of federal law. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
