The Bexar County DA just formally asked the Texas AG if he can prosecute federal officials who "Knowingly Violate Texas Election Code Laws in an Attempt to Disenfranchise Texas Voters."
He says he's been told the feds are dumping mail machines and services in Bexar County to purposely prevent older Bexar Voters from mailing in ballots.

Uh huh.
ETA: I hope the AG opines on the hazards of DAs politicizing their powers in pursuit of political gain.

Re: TX: Bexar County Democrat DA wants to indict "federal officials" for "election interference"
I'm trying to follow the "logic" in her letter.
She is saying that Federal employees who are not responsible for conducting elections in Texas may be violating Texas law related to the conduct of an election that is 2 months away because they have already made decisions that could negatively impact in some small way the ability of some voters in her county to vote 2 months from now. Namely voters who wait until the last minute to mail in their ballot, and who choose not to vote in person. Maybe its just me, but this seems to be a bit of a stretch.
I wonder if she's also planning to go after any state or local government officials who reduce speed limits anywhere in her county within 2 months of any election. After all, a 5 mph drop in a speed limit just might be the difference between getting to the polling place on time vs a minute late for those voters who wait until the last possible minute to try and vote. Don't even get me started on adding stoplights or stop signs.
By the same logic, she herself would be guilty of election interference if she conducts any legal action against a Citizen who is eligible to vote. The time that Citizen spends responding to such an action is time they could otherwise spend registering to vote, or filling out a ballot, or driving to a polling place.
