Texas AG sues group over claims of illegally registering voters

AUSTIN (KXAN) — Ken Paxton, the attorney general of Texas, is suing a nonprofit organization over allegations it illegally registered people to vote.

Jolt Initiative is a grassroots organization aiming to increase civic participation among younger Latinos in Texas. In a statement released today, Paxton, who is mounting a primary challenge against Sen. John Cornyn (R) next year, said his office was suing the group over its role in “orchestrating a systematic, unlawful voter registration scheme that is designed to sabotage Texas election integrity and allow illegals to vote.”

The lawsuit asks a court to dissolve Jolt’s charter and revoke its ability to do business in Texas.

Leaders at Jolt call the lawsuit “unconstitutional” and vow to fight it.
