Seventeen Democratic state attorneys general have thrown their weight behind a Texas county clerk who was sued by the state over plans to send mail-in voting applications to all registered voters in Houston-based Harris County, the most populous county in Texas.
A Texas appeals court this month allowed Harris County Clerk Chris Hollins to proceed with the initiative and rejected the state’s argument that Hollins was luring voters into criminal conduct. The state is now trying to persuade the all-Republican Texas Supreme Court to halt Hollins from sending the applications.
