How does an American citizen fight for the rights of Felons, enabling them to vote? They are being targeted /disallowed by AG Paxton as non voters while a Felon is being allowed to run for the presidency. This is obvious discrimination against a small special group, which certainly sounds illegal. Please explain this special privilege for a single individual.

In Texas, felons can vote as long as they’re of papers.

...if they have papers.....is that what you're saying? Also, can felons run for office as well? Also, is Paxton protesting/suing Bexar county....that felons, along with illegal immigrants, cannot be voters? Please clarify.

That means, if they are a felon and they have completed all court orders and are no longer on probably or parole, then they can legally vote. Yes, felons can run for office.

Paxton is suing to stop voter registration, his claim is that it will allow felons to vote, but his claim is baseless.
