Back in August, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton spearheaded a series of raids on the homes of at least six people associated with the League of United Latin American Citizens, or LULAC, under vote-harvesting allegations. In response, the organization requested a federal investigation against Paxton and his office claiming the raids were simply an excuse "to suppress the Latino vote through intimidation, a claim that was echoed by 11 members of Congress days later.
Now comes news that rather than holding back, LULAC has decided to intensify efforts to boost voter registration in Texas and beyond, by calling on volunteers to register Latinos and other voters and launching a broader get-out-the-vote campaign, utilizing its 535 local councils across 33 states, according to NBC News.
