[quote=Anonymous]Paxton is such an undemocratic tool.

[quote]The process of tallying primary ballots in Texas’ second-most-populous county was thrown into uncertainty on Tuesday evening when the State Supreme Court temporarily blocked an earlier court ruling allowing voters more time to cast ballots.

Earlier in the day, a district judge had ordered Dallas County to keep its polling places open to Democrats for an additional two hours, until 9 p.m. local time, over concerns that a rule change about where to vote had caused “mass confusion” among voters weighing in on consequential House and Senate contests.

But the Texas Supreme Court, in a ruling just before 8:30 p.m. local time, said that “votes cast by voters who were not in line to vote at 7 p.m. should be separated.” Paul Adams, the Dallas County election administrator, confirmed that the votes would not be counted, and instead segregated the ballots pending further legal challenges.

The challenge to the lower court’s ruling came from the office of Ken Paxton, the hard-line state attorney general who is running against Senator John Cornyn in a bitter Republican primary.

“We have a duty to make sure the law is followed in Texas,” said Brent Webster, the first assistant attorney general to Mr. Paxton, adding that it was his name rather than Mr. Paxton’s name on the filing “so that there’s no appearance of impropriety.”
