Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton’s attempt to block a voter registration drive in one of his state’s most populous urban counties — and biggest Democratic strongholds — has failed in state district court.
On Monday, State District Judge Antonia Arteaga dismissed the Republican attorney general’s lawsuit against Bexar County, the home of San Antonio.

@nursefrombirth Great news, thanks.
But also very sobering to realize how many basic American rights hang by a thread, depending on the rectitude of the many judges who remain dedicated to their oaths of office.
Yet a main thrust of the GOP for decades, especially effective in the Trump years, is to replace such judges with corrupt political pawns, from the lowest to the highest bench.
