Given that people are required to prove citizenship in order to register to vote, wouldn't the voter registration office be rejecting any applicants who can't prove eligibility? Is Paxton suggesting that the people working at the voter registration office are incompetent and not rejecting ineligble applications?

These aren't tricks to 'invent voters', they're anti-democratic tactics to restrict the number of people who vote because more voters always results in Republicans losing. The ONLY way they can continue to win, is by not allowing people who haven't been brainwashed by decades of right wing radio, TV and internet media, to vote.

Unless you've been radicalized and brainwashed by right wing media, Republicans don't want you voting.

It is so much more pleasurable when these battles involve another state, and I have no dog in the fight. From what I've read, Paxton says the county is violating state election laws by sending out registration forms while the county maintains the state law only prohibits them from sending out vote-by-mail applications.
