Federal judge blocks new Texas law limiting vote-by-mail applications
U.S. District Judge Xavier Rodriguez of San Antonio said the prohibition, part of a sweeping Republican-led election and voting law known as Senate Bill 1, constitutes unlawful viewpoint discrimination in violation of First Amendment protections.
"The State of Texas has no power to restrict expression because of its message, its ideas, its subject matter, or its content," Rodriguez wrote in his order, which granted a requested preliminary injunction that barred enforcement of the anti-solicitation provision.
Texas Attorney General (and prominent douche nozzle) Ken Paxton is expected to appeal the Friday night ruling.
