Texas AG falsely claims voting safely 'damages the integrity' of elections
By Dan Desai Martin -May 14, 2020 3:00 PM
Republican Ken Paxton claims allowing more Texas voters to apply for absentee ballots 'increases the risk of voter fraud.'
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton on Wednesday asked the state Supreme Court not to allow applications for absentee ballots from voters who are afraid that in-person voting might lead to their infection with the novel coronavirus.
The Dallas Morning News reported that Paxton, a Republican, said allowing more people to vote safely from their homes during a pandemic "damages the integrity of our elections and increases the risk of voter fraud."
Earlier in the month, Dallas County, among other counties in Texas, had voted to accept fear of the coronavirus as a valid basis for requesting an absentee ballot by voters under the age of 65.
Paxton asked the court to reverse a ruling in a suit brought by the Texas Democratic Party to ensure that mail-in voting during the coronavirus pandemic could proceed.
