Republican Texas Governor Greg Abbott's order to extend early voting by less than a week would cause 'harm' and has 'the ability to impact local, state and national elections,' according to a lawsuit filed Wednesday by the Texas GOP and multiple individual Republicans.
Texas Governor Greg Abbott has been accused of attempting to"act as a king" as he faces a lawsuit from his own Republican party for extending early voting in the state by six days.
"Governor Abbott seems to have forgotten that the Texas Constitution is not a document that he consults at his convenience," Jared Woodfill, an attorney for the plaintiffs, said in a statement to."It is an uninterrupted charter of governmental structure that limits the Governor Abbott's ability to act as a king."
