LULAC, State Face Off In Federal Court Over Voter Purge List
San Antonio Federal Judge Fred Biery heard arguments Tuesday in a lawsuit filed by the League of United Latin American Citizens against the state over a voter purge list.
LULAC said the list of 95-thousand potential non-citizen voters, many of whom were actually found to be naturalized citizens, was compiled with the help of DPS records and was sent by the Texas Secretary of State's Office to county election officials.
LULAC attorney Luis Vera Jr. said the group wanted the judge to order the state to stop using the list because it intimidates Hispanic voters under federal voting rights.
"Right now, the temporary injunction is to make them stop," he said. "Get it right, and once you got it right, then you can do it the right way."
