Federal judge orders Texas officials to comply with National Voter Registration Act

By J. Edward Moreno - 01/30/20 07:32 PM EST

A federal judge in San Antonio on Thursday ordered the Texas Department of Public Safety to register three voters based on their online driver’s license address.

Lawyers for Jarrod Stringer, the lead plaintiff in the suit, argued that Texas was violating the National Voter Registration Act, which requires states to allow eligible voters to complete voter registration when they obtain or renew their driver's license.

The ruling from U.S. District Court Judge Orlando Garcia, a Clinton appointee, requires the state to allow the voters to register by Monday, Feb. 3, the deadline to register to vote in the March 3 state primary.

Stakes are high.  Wonder how many illegals would added to the registration rolls if they are successful.

When I read the National Voter Registration Act, https://www.justice.gov/crt/about-national-voter-registration-act

It appears that it cites the federal DOJ to bring civil action against the state for failure to comply.  The action in the article appears to be solely by the defendant and attorneys.

I wonder if the judge is stepping out of bounds?
