ICYMI: In Latest Battle Over Election Crackdown, Rights Groups Sue Texas for Voter Roll Documents
Keith Allison
The groups include the Campaign Legal Center, the American Civil Liberties Union Foundation of Texas, the Mexican American Legal Defense Fund and Educational Fund, DĒMOS and Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law. But county election officials quickly learned many of those threatened with removal were naturalized citizens who had legal voting rights, the release explained, adding: “Recent reporting suggests that the Secretary’s program sweeps too broadly and endangers the registrations of thousands of eligible citizens.”
“The right to vote is what makes this country a free one and naturalized citizens in Texas, and every U.S. state, should not have to worry about being purged from the voting rolls. We all deserve the chance to cast our ballots freely, safely and equally,” Paul Smith, senior vice president at Campaign Legal Center, said in the press release.
