Texas AG threatens to sue Harris County over voter registration push
www.chron.com
Ken Paxton said sending out forms would lead ineligible people, such as felons and noncitizens, to commit a crime by attempting to register to vote.

Paxton said he’d sue Harris and Bexar counties if they sent voter registration forms to “unverified recipients”.

I wonder why Paxton doesn’t want Harris county to vote.

    Oh Kenney, you silly goose.

    Paxton insisted the counties’ 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.

    Surely, you’re such a great AG and your team is so great that you’d be able to catch them, Kenney, right? Riiiiight?

    Gov. Greg Abbott announced last week that a comprehensive audit of the state’s voter records over the past three years found over one million ineligible voters, nearly half of which are deceased.

    Prove it. I want receipts, you lying, cheating, corrupt fuck.

      I mean I kinda believe it. Once you die, you can’t remove yourself from the voter rolls. And there’s no requirement that you remove yourself after you move to a different state. Nothing really nefarious about finding people who died or moved out of state on the list.

      Though the way ol’ Greg puts it makes it seem like those million people tried to vote.
