Texas AG Paxton sues Counties using taxpayer funds to register Democrats

 American Action News:

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton filed a lawsuit Friday to stop a county from using taxpayer dollars to pay a voter registration firm aligned with progressives to identify unregistered voters.

Travis County is allegedly illegally paying taxpayer dollars to Civic Government Solutions (CGS), a voter registration firm, to create a list of unregistered voters for the county, according to the lawsuit. Travis County, home of Austin, Texas, is solidly blue, and CGS CEO Jeremy Smith has made statements in the past that encourage people to vote for progressive candidates.

“Travis County has blatantly violated Texas law by paying partisan actors to conduct unlawful identification efforts to track down people who are not registered to vote,” Paxton said in a press release. “Programs like this invite fraud and reduce public trust in our elections. We will stop them and any other county considering such programs.”

The Travis County Commissioners Court approved the use of the firm on Aug. 27, with the contract extending to 2025, according to county documents. CGS has sent over 10 million mailers since 2018 and has registered 2 million voters, according to the lawsuit.

Smith is also the CEO of Civitech, which describes itself as a “progressive data startup,” according to Axios. Civitech is listed as a registered contractor of CGS, with their goal being to “drive support for progressive causes and candidates” and to register “likely Democratic voters across the nation could be the key to securing Democratic victory in 2024,” according to the lawsuit.

Paxton filed a lawsuit on Wednesday against Bexar County for allegedly sending out massive amounts of registration applications regardless of whether they were requested via a third-party vendor. Paxton warned that the program would potentially allow illegal immigrants to vote and “invites election fraud.”

“It is unlawful and reckless for counties to use taxpayer dollars to indiscriminately send voter registration forms with no consideration of the recipients’ eligibility and without any statutory authority to do so,” Paxton warned Bexar County in a Monday press release. “These counties’ attempts to do so after the Biden-Harris Administration has allowed millions of illegal aliens to enter the country are especially troubling.”

Bexar County and Travis County are two of the largest counties in Texas and are the home to the cities of San Antonio and Austin.  There has been some evidence that the reason the Biden administration opened the borders was to import illegals and make them voters so they could swing elections to the left.   

Austin is where the University of Texas is located, and it began swinging to the left when 18-year-olds were given the vote. Bexar County has a large Hispanic population, which used to be a large Democratic demographic. That appears to be changing somewhat with Hispanic citizens in Texas.  Trump is picking up support from Hispanic citizens.
