In a 2-1 decision, the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has turned away a First Amendment challenge to Texas laws that restrict receipt and delivery of voter-registration applications during voter-registration drives.
“The Attorney General’s Office is pleased that the courts have once again reaffirmed the Texas Legislature’s ability to adopt common-sense election laws that are designed to instill confidence in our electoral process and prevent election fraud,” writes Lauren Bean, spokeswoman for the Texas Attorney General’s Office, in a prepared statement.
