Bexar County defies Paxton, will mail voter forms.

Bexar County officials took a bold stand on Tuesday by moving forward with a plan to mail voter registration forms to residents, despite the threats from Attorney General Ken Paxton.

This decision, made in a 3-1 vote by the Commissioners Court, marks a significant development in the ongoing battle between Texas Republicans and large counties over proactive voter registration initiatives.

Despite Paxton’s warnings that such efforts could violate state law and potentially add noncitizens to the voter rolls, Bexar County proceeded with a $393,000 outreach contract with Civic Government Solutions, emphasizing the nonpartisan nature of the initiative.

The approval of the contract came amidst a backdrop of escalating tensions between Texas Republicans and Democrats, with accusations of partisanship and legal overreach dominating the discourse.

Despite the controversy, the Commissioners Court stood by its decision, highlighting the importance of civic engagement and access to voter registration in a democracy.

The move by Bexar County underscores the critical role counties play in shaping the election landscape and ensuring that all eligible voters have the opportunity to participate in the democratic process.

As the debate over voter registration initiatives continues to unfold in Texas, it remains to be seen how these actions will impact the future of elections in the state.
