Houston-based NGO that registered illegal migrants to vote being sued

Houston-based NGO that registered illegal migrants to vote being sued by the state of Texas
The nonprofit is accused of orchestrating a deliberate scheme to register illegal migrants as voters, potentially tilting the scales in future elections.

The state is now suing to permanently dissolve the group's operations in the state.
Attorney General Ken Paxton's office alleges that Jolt, which bills itself as a civic engagement organization for young Latinos, has systematically violated Texas election laws by training and directing volunteers to collect and submit fraudulent voter registration forms from ineligible individuals.

This comes as revelations that Texas recently identified more than 2,700 potential noncitizens on its voter rolls.

Jolt volunteers were allegedly stationed outside Department of Motor Vehicles offices, providing instructions that encouraged the submission of false applications without verifying citizenship or eligibility, in direct defiance of state law.

The group is said to have recruited and coordinated deputy registrars to solicit unlawful registrations, possibly targeting illegal migrants lacking proper ID, as part of a broader effort to "subvert the election process."
