LULAC speaking in El Paso on Texas A.G. Paxton and ‘voter suppression’
Update: Just after 2 p.m. today, El Paso Congresswoman Veronica Escobar announced that she and other representatives of the Texas Democratic Delegation "will hold a virtual press call urging the Department of Justice to investigate any potential civil rights violations by TX AG Ken Paxton against Latino organizers and volunteers and take any necessary action to prevent further interference with the rights of Latino voters in the state of Texas," according to a press release.
EL PASO, Texas (KVIA) -- The League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC) will hold a press conference outside the El Paso County Courthouse at noon today to discuss what they call "official oppression" of voters by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton.
Attorney General Paxton's Election Integrity Unit executed search warrants in multiple counties following a two-year investigation into alleged election fraud and vote harvesting in 2022.
LULAC believes these efforts unfairly target minorities, as well as elderly individuals, saying Paxton "is using this big lie to order and carry out illegal and unconstitutional searches of innocent senior voters," according to a news release.
ABC-7 will stream today's press conference live and provide further coverage in our newscasts at 4, 5 and 6 p.m. Watch the livestream above.
