Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton on Wednesday made good on his promise to sue Bexar County Commissioners Court for green lighting a program to mail voter-registration applications to residents. On Monday, Paxton issued a letter to the Commissioners Court threatening legal action if the county approved a contract to hire an outside firm to distribute voter-registration forms and postage-paid return envelopes to unregistered voters. Paxton, a Republican, argued that felons, non-citizens and others ineligible to cast ballots were likely to end up with the forms and break the law by submitting them.
