Overview
- Paxton’s petition, filed Oct. 23 in Tarrant County and announced Monday, asks a judge to revoke Jolt Initiative’s charter and corporate privileges.
- The suit alleges Jolt recruited and trained volunteers who coached people outside DMV sites on submitting unlawful voter registration applications.
- The filing highlights an undercover encounter at a Universal City DMV, though reporting notes it offers no evidence that Jolt registered noncitizens.
- Jolt has moved to dismiss or transfer the case to Harris County and on Tuesday filed a federal lawsuit seeking an injunction against the dissolution effort.
- The clash follows Paxton actions targeting immigrant- and Latino-serving groups and cites a state review that flagged roughly 2,700 possible noncitizens on voter rolls.
