Quorum Report: “Republican officeholders and activists ask Texas Supreme Court to block the extra week of early voting; they argue ‘Abbott seems to have forgotten that the Texas Constitution is not a document that he consults at his convenience’. In a move that QR is told was privately discouraged by national Republicans, Republican Party of Texas Chairman Allen West, Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller, conservative activist Dr. Steve Hotze, Sen. Charles Perry, Sen. Donna Campbell, and others have signed onto a lawsuit against GOP Gov. Greg Abbott focused on his decision to extend early voting. They want the Texas Supreme Court to block Abbott’s extension of early voting because, they argue, only the Legislature can make changes to the Election Code.”
