    How is this not a punishable offense? Blatantly confessing to election interference, like can’t we throw him in prison?

    Also, “election is rigged!” Um yes by the Republicans and they admit it!

      The headline is misleading. He isn’t literally saying that Democrats can’t register to vote. He is saying that the city of Houston can’t mail unsolicited voter applications to anyone, Republican or Democrat.

      Since Houston has a lot of Democrats, Paxton probably thinks it will hurt Democrats more than Republicans. Then again, Houston city officials might well be using the same reasoning when sending out unsolicited voter applications.
