Description

Attorneys Brian Kabateck and Shant Karnikian cover Texas AG Ken Paxton's voter intimidation campaign targeting Latino communities while he runs for U.S. Senate. Paxton's office has raided homes of elderly activists, Democratic candidates, and elected officials, seizing phones and computers. One target: an 87-year-old volunteer interrogated at 6 a.m. He sued Jolt Initiative, a Latino civic engagement nonprofit, to dissolve its charter for registering voters. U.S. District Judge Robert Pitman ruled Paxton acted in "bad faith," finding the case "supposes absolutely no wrongdoing." A Texas law even criminalized paying volunteers gas money or helping elderly voters fill out ballots. Brian and Shant walk through the legal problems: disparate impact on a protected class, retaliation for First Amendment activity, and equal protection violations. The chilling effect is the point. If Paxton wins, this becomes the model for every state.

Don't forget that during the primary when they switched up in person polls on the day of the election for registered democrats so that people were being redirected to new assigned locations so Jasmine Crockett filed in court requesting an extra 2 hours for voters to get through the lines and to count the votes of the people who were in line before the polls closed because people were waiting for hours. The judge approved it, then Ken Paxton filed an emergency appeal against that ruling and that court reversed their decision. He was running in that same race. It's a problem.

Someone needs to take him to court immediately. It shouldn’t be hard to catch Paxton in criminal behavior leading up to the race. Get him disqualified. Latinos better wise up fast!

That voter volunteer who was in her 8O’s was made to stand outside in her nightgown and has all of her electronics stolen and forced to turn o over voter info. That story was soooooooo overlooked. Those who did that to her, should have been jailed.

Just because you're Latino does NOT mean you're illegal.
