The Texas Republican Party filed a lawsuit against the state governor Wednesday, after Gov. Greg Abbott added six days to the early voting period in light of the coronavirus pandemic. “The Texas Constitution is not a document of convenient consultation,” said the lawsuit filed by Texas Republican Party Chairman, Allen West, along with other party members. Abbott argued in July that extending early voting would allow more voters the ability to safely vote during the Nov. 3 presidential election. The Republican Party’s lawsuit comes at a time when Republican lawmakers across the nation are pushing for more measures to limit mail-in ballots and early voting.
