Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton disputed a federal judge's ruling allowing Texans to vote by mail, saying that state law 'doesn't allow for people to get mail-in ballots for fear of contracting corona or anything else.'
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton vowed to fight a ruling allowing Texas voters to use mail-in ballots, claiming that"fear" of catching the coronavirus is not a valid reason to avoid the polls.
Co-host Katy Tur noted that contracting the coronavirus is likely to be a significantly more realistic concern than being hit by a car amid the pandemic and asked whether Paxton felt"confident" telling voters who may have underlying conditions that they must go to the polls despite the health risks. U.S. District Judge Fred Biery ruled that state restrictions on mail-in voting were unconstitutional, writing that Texans should be given"the option to choose voting by letter carrier versus voting with disease carriers." Paxton said in a statement that the ruling"ignores the evidence and disregards well-established law."
